President Obama decreed that students and those who at least graduated high school, has a clean record, and had arrived here illegally as a minor through no fault of their own would not be deported and can get temporary work permits. The children had to have arrived before 2007, before the age of 16, and have been present continuously present in the country and been here on June 15, 2012. This sounds good, and many people qualify. But the problem for many kids is getting the documents. If they were registered in school since 2007 to present, then school records should suffice. But the problem comes in where the children graduated from high school before June 2012.
After they graduate, many children simply live with their parents. They dont have lease, or utility bills under their name.
They work illegally for cash. Their employers dont want to say that to the government, and understandably so. Since they deal in cash, they dont have receipts, bank accounts or credit cards.
They are generally in good health and don't visit doctors or hospitals.
Although they attend church regularly, what United States Citizenship and Immigration Office is looking for is baptism, first communion or wedding records. Just letters from pastors stating that he has seen them attend church may not be enough.
Some of the other evidence would be maybe Facebook records or phone records for texting, or maybe internet postings. But not all children are computer savvy enough to get this from 2007. And many may not have Facebook accounts in 2007, and many may not have kept their MySpace accounts from 2007. Also those records must somehow establish that the children were in the United States. These children certainly did not think, let me post, "Beautiful day in Houston" in 2007, in the hope that maybe sometime in the distant future this would establish that they were living in Houston since 2007.
