  1. The Pledge of Allegiance to the United States of America(Please Stand) I Pledge Allegiance To the flag Of the United States of America And to the Republic For which it Stands One nation Under God, Indivisible, With liberty And Justice For ALL.

  2. The Declaration of Independence A famous president once wrote, “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

  3. Joaquin Luna Jr.

  4. In Loving memory of Joaquin Luna Jr. R.I.P. Unknown-November 25, 2011 Translation: “To get to heaven- Papers are NOT a necessity”

  5. Anna Gabriela Cruz Pre-Law The Joaquin Luna Jr Act

  6. Similarities to the DREAM Act • Must have entered the United States before the age of 16 (i.e. 15 and younger) • Must have been present in the United States for at least five (5) consecutive years prior to enactment of the bill • Must have graduated from a United States high school, or have obtained a GED, or have been accepted into an institution of higher education (i.e. college/university) • Must be between the ages of 12 and 35at the time of application • Must have good moral character

  7. What is the Joaquin Luna Jr. Act? • Commemorates the life of this once ambitious young man. • Tested based on basic knowledge of U.S. History and other core classes. (Required to score an A grade on the test) • ( Pass an extensive background check) Complies with the Arizona’s immigration law(SB1070) or other states that may implement similar laws. • Must maintain clean criminal record, in order to remain in the program.

  8. American Ignorance "Dr. Pease, a conservative and instructor at Taft College has looked at a recent study of 1000 adults made by Newsweek and worries about the political and historical ignorance of many Americans.” 29% of Americans who couldn’t name the current Vice President Nearly 25% were unaware of Martin Luther King’s accomplishments.

  9. Arizona State Immigration Law (SB1070) Purpose: The provisions of this act are intended to work together to discourage and deter the unlawful entry and presence of aliens and economic activity by persons unlawfully present in the United States.

  10. There is more than meets the eye 1 2 • A survey I conducted within Carl Wunsche, Sr. High School among 50 people. • “Where reasonable suspicion exists that the person is an alien who is unlawfully present in the united states, a reasonable attempt shall be made, when practicable, to determine the immigration status of the person.” (SB1070) • Question: “If you found yourself in the position of a law enforcement official which one of these men would you more likely to question their legal status if they've given you reasonable suspicion to believe otherwise? 4 3

  11. Benefits The Joaquin Luna Jr. Act: • Benefitthe U.S. Armed Forces. • Stimulate the American economy. • Includes important restrictions to prevent abuse.

  12. Chicago Passes the DREAM Act The Illinois Dream Act will establish a private fund, administered by a volunteer state commission, to make scholarships available to about 95,000 children of undocumented immigrants who graduate from Illinois high schools.

  13. How much will it cost? It will NOT cost the Illinois taxpayers a dime to invest in these kids, many of whom have demonstrated that they are talented enough to be accepted into elite colleges and universities.

  14. Why help them?

  15. Why help them?

  16. Why not help them? • Enacting the Joaquin Luna Jr. Act satisfies the needs of the registrant, and the concerns of the state immigration law of Arizona/future states that are going to implement a similar law like SB1070. • This act gives children that do not have the option of better life in their birthplace to gain one. At NO COST!
