CNN News: 特朗普決定廢除童年入境暫緩遣返計劃

A Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, it was started by President Barack Obama in 2012. It allows young immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally as children to apply for a renewable two-year visa. That allows them to work legally in the U.S. and saves them from deportation.
美國總統(tǒng)巴拉克•奧巴馬于2012年啟動了一項童年入境暫緩遣返計劃(DACA)。該計劃允許在童年時期非法入境美國的年輕移民申請可續(xù)簽的兩年期簽證。這樣一來，他們就能夠合法地在美國工作，并免于被驅(qū)逐出境。
So, who qualifies?
那么，誰有這樣的資格呢?
Those who have been in the U.S. since 2007 and came before they turned 16, and those who are under the age of 31 before June 15, 2012, when DACA went into effect. Applicants must be in school, have a high school diploma, or be a military veteran. And they must have mostly clean criminal record.
那些自2007年以來一直生活在美國并且入境美國時未滿16歲的人，以及那些在2012年6月15日——DACA生效時未滿31歲的人。申請者目前必須在學(xué)，有高中文憑，或者為退伍軍人。此外，申請者還必須無犯罪記錄。
It's important to note, the status doesn't put participants on the path to legal permanent residency, or citizenship. But it does mean these immigrants can get things like driver's licensees, credit cards and open bank accounts.
需要注意的是，此計劃賦予相關(guān)人員的身份地位并不能使他們獲得合法的永久居住權(quán)，也不賦予他們公民身份。但這確實意味著這些移民能夠做到獲得駕照、信用卡并在銀行開戶等。
A recent survey found that after being approved for DACA, 5 percent of recipients started their own businesses and 17 percent bought a home for the first time. Some critics say DACA is unconstitutional, because Obama introduced it by executive action and without congressional approval. They also argue that DACA promotes future illegal immigration because it signals that if you come here illegally, there are ways to be able to stay.
最近一項調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，DACA計劃的受益者中，有5%的人已經(jīng)自己創(chuàng)業(yè)，17%的人購買了首套房產(chǎn)。一些批評人士認(rèn)為，DACA計劃是違憲的，因為奧巴馬是在沒有得到國會批準(zhǔn)的情況下，利用行政令推出的這一計劃。他們還指出，DACA計劃會助長未來非法移民增加的風(fēng)險，因為它預(yù)示著，即使有人通過非法手段進入美國，也總會有辦法讓他們留下來。
The divide over this issue was clear throughout the U.S. yesterday. Supporters of the Trump administration's decision said current immigration laws must be enforced. But those who opposed the president's changes joined in public demonstrations across the country and said they were, quote, here to stay.
昨天，美國各地在這一問題上的分歧表現(xiàn)得非常明顯。支持特朗普政府決定的人表示，必須要執(zhí)行現(xiàn)行的移民法。但是那些反對該決定的人在全美各地舉行了公開示威活動，并表示，他們將繼續(xù) “留在這里”。
The government's repeal of the DACA policy doesn't take effect immediately. For those whose legal status expires in the next six months, the Trump administration plans to renew it. The idea is to give Congress time to agree on a law concerning young people who entered or were brought to the U.S. illegally.
政府廢除DACA計劃的決定并未立即生效。特朗普政府計劃接受那些合法地位將在未來六個月內(nèi)到期的人的延期申請。此舉是為了給國會時間，就一項涉及非法進入美國或非法被帶入美國的年輕人的法律達成一致意見。
On Capitol Hill, supporters of the repeal say President Trump is doing the right thing because former President Obama should have gone through Congress in the first place to determine U.S. immigration policy. Opponents say President Trump's decision could separate families and lead to the deportations of people who have nowhere to go. Several Democratic and Republican lawmakers indicated they were willing to work together to come up with a solution.
國會山方面，支持廢除DACA計劃的人表示，特朗普總統(tǒng)在做正確的事情，因為前總統(tǒng)奧巴馬本來就應(yīng)該先經(jīng)國會同意再決定美國的移民政策。反對者則表示，特朗普總統(tǒng)的決定可能會拆散家庭，并導(dǎo)致無處可去的人無端被驅(qū)逐。一些民主黨議員和共和黨議員表示，他們愿意共同努力，來想出一套解決方案。
