Persistent illegal immigrants
The establishment of the United States is the immigrant country, from the government to the public, to the values from the social environment, great tolerance for immigrants without a doubt. But one hundred years, the illegal immigration problem has plagued American society.

In the United States there are thousands of the same as the year-old promise of the "black households." Total population of 311 million U.S., illegal immigrants accounted for 11 million, for every 100 people in there three illegal immigrants. Loose tight when changing the government's immigration policy, the police turn a blind eye to deal with attitude and "as long as willing to endure hardship will always have something to eat," the social environment has given many eager to America but do not meet the requirements of people with hope, that "to be able to leave." However, this kind of huge "black family" team statistics difficult, regulatory difficulties, to the United States Social Security poses a significant threat.

U.S. Cable News Network (CNN) quoted Justice Bureau of Immigration and Customs (ICE) spokesman Ross? Feinstein as saying: 2011 ICE repatriated 366,900 illegal immigrants deported for crimes in which the over 20 million people, a record number of illegal immigrants ICE deported record for the most.

But in fact the majority of illegal immigrants, especially the Chinese, smuggled into the United States only to make money to support their families out of poverty. The most simple purpose, after all, or for their children. Although these people to live and work in the United States are in violation of local law, but 5% of the total U.S. workforce of illegal workers supporting construction (31%), services (20%), hand-manufacturing and other industries, as Beijing is inseparable from the field Workers, the United States is also inseparable from illegal immigration, tough talk deportation is unrealistic.

However, in the circle of Chinese immigrants, who through study, work and other legal means to obtain the right of abode in the United States immigration, illegal immigration to the United States did not "identity" compatriots, there is a subtle emotions. On the one hand for the Chinese sympathy with their situation, but also admire their hard working, the other is not so welcome them into their circle. In addition to that part of illegal immigrants will take away jobs, but more importantly, the Chinese expect over the years have a higher status in the United States, into the mainstream society. The image of the whole illegal immigration caused a lot of Chinese circle negative effects. Therefore, the United States, the Chinese circle, for illegal immigrants has no one wants to say it's exclusive. Illegal immigrants to a new country dream, but not into them.

Is the "Dream Act" or political show?
For years, the U.S. government has tried various ways to solve the problem of illegal immigration, including the 1986 "amnesty" and in 2011 a large-scale repatriation, immigration policy has changed almost every year, but the problem still exists mid never been effectively solution. Especially as this old Xu's eldest daughter, was born in the country of origin, with his parents to the United States for many years but can not get the identity of the young people should be free to grow in this age but living in an awkward position.

August 1, 2001, the U.S. Senate proposed a project called "Dream Act" proposal, targeting the young "black family", provides that "where the 16 years before entering the United States, more than five years living in a good school or military records 12-30 years younger immigrants will be granted permanent residency. " Dream Act is actually a "minor aliens development, relief and Education Act" for short, is proposed on the grounds that "the young children of illegal immigrants are part of America's future, it should be protected," Senate Majority objection was dismissed because. The grounds that it goes against the amnesty, the U.S. Constitution is a serious humiliation; On the other hand, illegal immigration has never given federal and state taxes, but it consumes a lot of employment opportunities, "positive" after the country but also for them to pay health care, education, relief and other costs, will make this on the depressed economy worse. In addition to politicians, the opposition but also from civil society.

Not just white Americans, some of lawfully obtained or pending status immigrants stand out: "Dream Act" is a strong legal immigration injustice, is smuggling this serious violations of the "ignore" and "connivance", but also will convey to the world that the U.S. government "to encourage illegal immigration," the information, resulting in more people to illegally enter the United States.

Decade, the "Dream Act" was repeatedly revisit, but always was not adopted. 2010, a time when Democrats in the November midterm elections, the situation is not optimistic selected, then play the "immigration card" trying to back minority voters vote. Senate Majority Leader Harry? Reid took the "Dream Act" and the National Defense Authorization Act "bundling" strategy, so that when the Senate vote on the National Defense Authorization Act "passing" through the "Dream Act." This approach was more than the Senate Republican leader's strong opposition, Senator Hatch said that this is entirely Obama's "political show", in his subsequent meeting of the Senate voted against, and after he was co-signed the bill one. The case was not any result through the Senate vote.

2012 before the election, Obama again "Dream Act" on the table. The Obama and the government and seems to "real thing", promulgated a series of amnesties side as matting, side release early in 2013 that formally implemented signals. According to "Christian Science Monitor," the disclosure, once the DREAM Act purposes, thereby obtaining status of illegal immigrants will reach 1.7 million.
