H.R. 2442: 

Rural America Job Assistance and Creation Act

Published:  Mon, Jan 27th 2014 @ 3:41 pm EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. John McHugh [R-NY23, 2003-2009] in the 110th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

The bill would “expedite” the importation of H-1B high-skill nonimmigrant workers by requiring the employer to submit to the Department of Labor the requisite labor condition application at the same time as the employer submits to DHS the petition for nonimmigrant admission of the H-1B worker.

To provide job creation and assistance, and for other purposes.

Sponsored by:  Rep. Heather Wilson [R-NM1, 1997-2009] in the 110th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

The bill would authorize adjustment to lawful permanent resident (LPR) status for aliens with E-2 “treaty investor” nonimmigrant visas only if certain capital investment levels are met and specified numbers of new jobs are created; would authorize 3,000 E-2 visas to be made available each fiscal year to principal aliens (i.e., no cap on spouses or children); and would grant LPR status to any E-2 nonimmigrant alien who has been present in the United States for at least five years, provided they meet the new criteria.

Published:  Tue, Jan 28th 2014 @ 8:21 am EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. Bart Stupak [D-MI1, 1993-2010] in the 110th congress

Oppose

This potentially triples the number of workers in a year and would make these provisions effective for five years.

H.R. 1758

Published:  Tue, Jan 28th 2014 @ 8:37 am EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. Luis Gutiérrez [D-IL4] in the 110th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

H.R. 1645, the Security Through Regularized Immigration and a Vibrant Economy (STRIVE) Act, would grant amnesty to nearly all of the 12 million illegal aliens in the United States by one of several routes. It would also establish the H-2C guestworker program, through which 400,000 new workers (plus their spouses and minor children on an unlimited basis) may come to the United States annually. In addition, it would allow the annual cap on H-2C visas to be increased to as many as 600,000.

Sponsored by:  Rep. John Shadegg [R-AZ3, 2003-2010] in the 110th congress

Oppose

H.R. 1358 would create a new nonimmigrant visa category (i.e., the W visa) for aliens coming to the United States to work as professional nurses; would initially cap annual issuance of W visas to 50,000, but would provide that if that cap is reached in any year, the next year’s cap would be increased by 20 percent (no reduction if the cap is not reached – just a maintenance of the current cap); would exempt from the annual cap: (1) nonimmigrants working in geographic areas designated as “health professional shortage areas”; and (2) spouses and children of W nonimmigrants.

NumbersUSA Education & Research Foundation provides a civil forum for Americans of all political and ethnic backgrounds to focus on a single issue, the numerical level of U.S. immigration. We educate opinion leaders, policymakers and the public on immigration legislation, policies and their consequences. We favor reductions in immigration numbers toward traditional levels that would allow present and future generations of Americans to enjoy a stabilizing U.S. population and a high degree of individual liberty, mobility, environmental quality, worker fairness and fiscal responsibility.

Those who need to refer to NumbersUSA with a short, descriptive modifier should call it an “immigration-reduction organization.”
