President Barack Obama unveiled his immigration plan, saying lifting the threat of expulsion from five million undocumented migrants would make the system "more fair and just."
奧巴馬總統公布了他的移民計劃,稱消除五百萬非法移民被遣返的威脅會讓移民體系“更加公平和公正”。
奧巴馬通過行政命令(executive action)公布的移民計劃將允許已經在美國非法居住滿5年且孩子出生在美國的非法移民申請為期三年的工作許可(undocumented migrants who have been living illegally in the United States for five years and have US-born children to apply for three-year work permits)。
這些移民將可以不再躲藏(come out of the shadows), 通過犯罪記錄審查(undergo criminal records checks),并交納適當的稅收(pay proper taxes),以申請更長時間的居留許可(apply for longer-term residency)。
