It’s alleged that courtesy the existing loopholes in the proposed US immigration legislation, millions of unauthorized immigrants in the country could pocket the prized American citizenship in a rather short time period, even while they become entitled for the many taxpayer-funded benefits–that too prior to the stipulated time-frame of 13 years.

If the proposed legislation becomes a law, close to 11 million unregistered migrants in the country will receive legal US status inside just one year or so. The same will further offer them a legal right to reside, and also get fruitfully employed in the US, in a legal manner.

However, though even those involved with the immigration proposal admit this–they claim that such aliens will not be entitled to draw benefits from the US welfare & entitlement schemes for 13 years, as alleged.

US public benefits eligibility

The undocumented aliens, who receive legal status in the nation, will be eligible for public benefits at once as the nation’s state laws proffer benefits to those physically present in the country legally. It denotes that once such aliens get lawful status, the local & also state administrations would be responsible for supporting those outsiders (money-wise) who are unable to take care of their needs in the country.

Significantly, via the provisions for the getting rid of the American immigration backlogs–and permitting the movement of family members in the country & the extension of US Guest Worker schemes–the proposed legislation could offer legal status, or much more importantly the prized American citizenship, to a staggering 30 million-plus unregistered outsiders in the future.

Thanks to the alleged loopholes in the proposed US immigration legislation, a large number of unregistered immigrants in the country may get the prized American citizenship in a pretty short period, and also become qualified for the many taxpayer-funded benefits–that too earlier than the stipulated time period of 13 years.
