What problem would you like to solve?

The problem I would like to see solved is the labor and immigration issues in my community.

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

This is important because many individuals come to the United States for a better life but struggle when they arrive as they can not seek employment due to not having working papers. Many times their immigration status affects their income thus, their families chance at a better life. This is relevant to my community because there are numerous of individuals in my community with the same issues of employment.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Opening up more employment regardless of ones visa status or working paper status to allow immigrants to make some what decent income.

Who would that help?

Immigrants

What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?

Bronx
