Pinoy TNTs sa US apektado sa 'real ID system'

Inaasahang maapektuhan ang Filipino community sa Estados Unidos ng pinaplanong “Real ID system" na nais ipatupad doon bilang bahagi ng kampanya ng Amerika laban sa terorismo at illegal immigrants.

Sa ulat ng GMA News Saksi nitong Martes, sinabi ni US immigrant lawyer Michel Templo na ang mga Filipino na hindi dokumento o TNT (tago-ng-tago) ang siguradong maaapektuhan ng Real ID system.

“Not so much impact if they maintain their legal status. If they maintain their visa or legal immigration status, there is no much impact on that. The greater impact will be on TNTs," paliwanag ni Templo.

Dahil sa bagong ID system, inaasahan na magiging mahigpit ang US authorities sa paghingi ng mga ipakikitang dokumento ng mag-a-apply ng ID.

Sa listahan ng Commission on Filipino Overseas, lumitaw na umabot sa mahigit dalawang milyon ang Filipino na may permanent status sa US; mahigit 100,000 ang may temporary residence; at tinatayang 103,000 ang hindi dokumentado o ilegal.

Sa ilalim ng Real ID scheme, magiging mahigpit ang Amerika sa pagpoproseso ng mga mag-a-apply ng drivers license, at iba pang government-issued identification. Tanging ang mga may Real ID compliance lamang ang papayagang makasakay sa eroplano at makapasok sa federal buildings simula sa susunod na taon.

“There are three categories of people who will be very unhappy about secured driver’s licenses – terrorist and people who wanted to get on airplane and federal buildings and avoid terrorist watch list, illegal immigrants who wanted to work in this country by pretending to be American citizens, and convicts," ayon kay Michael Chertoff, secretary ng US Homeland Security.

Tiyak umanong aakyat sa Federal Supreme Court sa US ang usapin ng ID system dahil tulad ng pangamba ng mga Filipino sa isinusulong na National ID system sa Pilipinas, pinangangambahan na makapanghihimasok ito sa pribadong buhay ng mamamayan. - Fidel Jimenez, GMANews.TV

Hinikayat din nito ang mga nanay at tatay na sumali sa malayang usapan, lalo na sa mga usapin ukol sa sex at sekswalidad, na nakikitang makakatulong upang bumaba ang mga bilang ng mga pagbubuntis sa hanay ng mga kabataan.

Biden said set to make push for demilitarized Palestinian state as part of new doctrine ---By LAZAR BERMAN

New York Times’ Thomas Friedman, who’s close to the US administration, says emerging doctrine would include Saudi-Israeli normalization, 2-state solution, and campaign against Iran US President Joe Biden’s administration is homing in on a new doctrine involving an unprecedented push to immediately advance the creation of a demilitarized but viable Palestinian state, The New York Times’ Thomas Friedman reported on Thursday. The plan, Friedman wrote, “would involve some form of US recognition of a demilitarized Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip that would come into being only once Palestinians had developed a set of defined, credible institutions and security capabilities to ensure that this state was viable and that it could never threaten Israel.” White House officials “have been consulting experts inside and outside the US government about different forms this recognition of Palestinian statehood might take,” revealed Friedman. What he termed the new “Biden Doctrin
