Preamble: Whereas there are currently over 11 million undocumented immigrants living in
the United States, and since these undocumented immigrants are living, working, and
creating families that reside within the country, and since the United States would have to
spend $400 to $600 billion dollars to deport these immigrants, and since it takes over 5
years to become a legal resident of the United States, and since 1.1 million of the
undocumented immigrants are under the age of 18, while 1.5 millions undocumented
persons are students, and since the undocumented immigrants are believed to have
contributed to over $12 billion each year in either local or federal taxes,

Sub-SECTION A: Each state receives an equal amount of $13,520,000, in
order to fund their public schools of higher-quality English Language Learning classes.
Sub-SECTION B: Each state receives this increased amount of funding in
order to compromise for the increased amount of children attending public schools who
are currently undocumented (over 1.5 million.), and any other students who, in the future,
may be brought into the United States and attend school.
Sub-SECTION C: This funding is due to a redistribution of the military budget
that is currently in place.
SECTION 2: Let those who have been defined as undocumented but have lived in the
United States for 2 consecutive years, apply to become official citizens of the
United States.
Sub-SECTION A: The undocumented immigrants with larger degree criminal
records, regardless are to be deported.

immigrant in jail for reasons that include but are not limited to homicide, rape, assault of
any kind, drug involvement, and theft.
Sub-SECTION B: The illegal immigrants who have lived in the United States
for over 3 years must present factual identification of their residence when
applying for citizenship.
