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."
奥巴马总统公布了他的移民计划,称消除五百万非法移民被遣返的威胁会让移民体系“更加公平和公正”。
奥巴马通过行政命令(executive action)公布的移民计划将允许已经在美国非法居住满5年且孩子出生在美国的非法移民申请为期三年的工作许可(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)。
这些移民将可以不再躲藏(come out of the shadows), 通过犯罪记录审查(undergo criminal records checks),并交纳适当的税收(pay proper taxes),以申请更长时间的居留许可(apply for longer-term residency)。
