New Immigration Bills
Post Source: Politico
Apparently congress is about to look at immigration reform again. Although I doubt any effective legislation will be forth coming. A few proposals may be forthcoming. One proposal does nothing about controlling entry into the country, but looks for ways to get more immigrants here legally.
Nothing is anticipated on the scale of the comprehensive immigration bill that collapsed in the Senate last year. But seasonal employers, such as the restaurant and tourism industries, are pressing hard for more H-2B visas for lower-skilled workers this summer, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has promised Hispanic lawmakers an opportunity to add provisions addressing concerns in their community.
I'm all for allowing more workers in legally, as long as something is done to stem the flow of illegal entry. Here is an idea I like a lot better.
A third potential piece is a bipartisan bill introduced by Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.) — with the support of fellow “Blue Dog” Democratic moderates — that takes a more conservative approach: beefing up border security and requiring employers to use a government database to verify that their workers are in the U.S. legally.
But by the time we do have any legislation we will probably have another president. If that happens to be McCain any legislation with strong border control measures will quite likely be vetoed.
