이민문제에 대해 오바마의 견해는 다음과 같습니다.
“This (recapture) is not an increase in employment-based numbers but rather, a direction for the agencies to use all the visa numbers that are available today”.
If these unused visas are captured and issued to the Employment based legal immigrants, who have stayed in the country for at least 6 years, we are adding a significant amount of home buyers to the economy.
These immigrants will eventually get their Green Cards in 2 to 4 years. Why not give it to them now so that it will be beneficial to the ailing economy.
The 250,000 un-used visas that are captured and the annual quota of 140,000 employment based Greencards for 2008 amounts to 390,000 green cards which amounts to approximately 195,000 families getting a green card.
Employment based legal immigrants (EB1, EB2 and EB3) who have stayed in the country for 6 years are economically well off and have excellent credit history. Once they get a Green Card, they’ll feel more secure and think about buying a home and settling down.
Of the 195,000 families, 25 % may already own a home. 25% may not have the intention of buying a home due to various reasons. Even if the remaining 50 % buy a home, approximately 100,000 homes will be taken off the market. This will act as the much needed catalyst and will ease the Housing crisis a little bit.
Hopefully the benefits of the Rescue Plan will kick in by that time and our Economy will start flourishing again.
따라서 제가 분석하기에는 불체자를 구제한다고 해도 바로 영주권을 부여하기 보다는 영주권 절차에 착수할 수 있는 권한을 부여하는 방향으로 갈 것 같습니다.따라서 이분들도 합법이민자와 같이 노동허가/140/485의 절차를 거쳐야 할거라고 봅니다.불체자 구제때문에 합법이민자가 홀대받는다는 생각은 버리시는게 좋을듯합니다. 합법이민자에 대한 조치도 비자넘버를 바로 늘리기 보다는 과거에 사용못한 비자넘버를 현재에 소급적용하지 않을까 생각합니다.어떻게 되던 적체해소라는 결과는 마찬가지 겠지요.오바마가 친이민성향은 분명하기 때문에 내년을 기대해볼 근거는 마련됐다고 봅니다.
