I believe that individuals with a past should be given a second chance. Many years have passed since their mistakes, and it is not fair to discriminate against them for their previous decisions. Felons and parolees deserve the opportunity to work in this country, contributing to their Social Security for retirement and benefits.
If they are willing to seek counseling or therapy, they can receive assistance with career development, training, job placement, free GED programs, and skill trades.
Let us give these men and women the opportunity to turn their lives around and do the right thing. Thank you.
