Jim Sensenbrenner wants to pass is not effective for all parties involved, and that the claim that it will cut waiting time for all immigrants is half-true. Dave Umhoefer formats his article by informing the audience of the bill that is in question. The bill states that it would cut 12 years off the current waiting times for illegal immigrants to gain their United States citizenship. The author gives quotes from Jim Sensenbrenner himself stating that this bill “would allow immigrants who came to the United States illegally to gain citizenship in 13 years.” Sensenbrenner stated that the current the “pathway to citizenship” is the amount of time you wait to get a green card plus an additional 3 to 5 years to apply for citizenship. Sensenbrenner also claimed that Mexican immigrants currently wait about 20 years before they can file for permanent-residency, or also known as green cards. After Umhoefer gathered this information, he began to gather facts on immigration by himself. As Umhoefer did his research at the Migration Policy Institute to argue whether the bill would do everything it said, he found out that the first step to obtain citizenship is getting your green card.
