Multiculturalism and Youth Opportunities Act of 2015
Rationale
Despite universal opportunity being a core part of our national identity, reality is less fortunate - some have access to more opportunities than others. This act, as a result, hopes to resolve this problem through ensuring the legal rights of foreigners and the next generation of Rhenish society.
