Migration: DREAM-style and law enforcment acts in Florida legislature
Wednesday, April 6, 2011 at 1:30PM The US Citizenship and Immigration Services page provides user-friendly information to migrants. Obama’s policy has changed the terminology. An announcement on the page said, “The USCIS Office of Public Engagement invites customers and stakeholders to participate in our next ‘Enlace,’ which takes place Saturday, April 30, 2011 at 1:00PM (EDT). This public engagement is a free Spanish-language event where USCIS will share agency updates, give a presentation focused on the topic of "How to Navigate U.S. Citizenship," and provide an open forum segment to respond to questions from the public.” Apparently USCIS is only interested in those who speak Spanish, a de facto policy of discrimination.Critics and proponents of migrant policy in Florida are speaking out on blogs and message boards, with two bills top of the blogosphere. Florida Senate bill SB 2040 and Florida Senate Bill 318—a de facto Sunshine State ‘DREAM Act’ modeled on the federal bill that failed in the US Congress last year—are the two bills most people are discussing.
