The Bill was filed this morning. From what I've heard, we won't know which direction it takes until Fri, 12/18/09.
Thanks. These are the kind of posts that this board needs, unlike those that speculate the same information on the same thread over and over like a broken record.
So far the broken record (ironic) is the same bill being pushed through with the same criteria over and over with a net result of, FAIL.
Yep, same church, different pew.
Quote:
The legislation is set to be introduced by Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D., Ill.), the chairman of the House Immigration Caucus.
It would offer a path to legal residence for people currently living illegally in the U.S.,
Illegal residents in the U.S. with no criminal records would be able to pay a fine, start to pay taxes, take English and civic classes, and after six years be able to apply for a green card.
It was unclear how large the fine would be, and whether the immigrants would be required to pay unpaid back taxes.
The bill would largely defer the issue of future inflows of immigrants to officials at the DHS, who would make an annual recommendation to Congress about how many new entrants would be allowed.
No new funds would be made available to beef up border security, but the DHS secretary would be tasked with conducting a review and reporting to Congress about what further resources would be required, the aide said.
The bill would take steps to implement an Internet-based verification program for employers to ensure that prospective employees are legal, but would stop short of making that program mandatory.
The bill would propose an end to a controversial program in which federal immigration officials work with local law enforcement forces to crack down on illegal residents.
