Fraud Alert in the Latino Community
Beware of People Charging Money to “Fix” Your Immigration Status
Anyone who claims that there is a new legalization program in the U.S. is committing fraud. There is no new legalization program. The Senate has passed an immigration bill, but that does not mean automatic legalization. Do not give money to people so they can “fix” your immigration status. It is critical that the Latino community be continuously and accurately updated on the formation of the path to legalization. The National Council of La Raza will keep you informed of developments as they occur. Again, the immigration bill has not been enacted.
Advertencia Sobre Fraude en la Comunidad Latina
¡Cuidado Con Personas que Le Piden Dinero Para Arreglar Su Estatus de Inmigración!
Es sumamente importante alertar al público en este momento sobre los procesos para brindar una legalización a los inmigrantes. El Senado ha aprobado un proyecto de ley, pero esto no significa que existe una legalización. El Consejo Nacional de la Raza le mantendrá informado sobre el proceso. Cualquier persona que esté anunciando que existe un programa de legalización, esta cometiendo fraude. No hay un nuevo programa de legalización. Este proyecto de ley no se ha aprobado como ley final. No entregue dinero a personas desconocidas para que “arreglen” su estatus de inmigración.
