They have moved their skills upward beyond that temporary permit they have. and they are in another category. but they cant move up into that new category under current law. to represent the new kind of lifestyle they live. Also. about half of them have lived here a short period of time. and about half of them have lived here a long time. So I am just going to describe what maybe is the way we get the issue of undocumented workers solved. Lets consider drawing a line at those who have lived here longer than 5 years. It seems to me that this is an important consideration. an important issue to look at because if one lives here for several years. that person certainly has a different relationship with the community and probably a different relationship all the way around than somebody who just arrived last week or even somebody who works 3 months and goes home.
