S. 2493: 

Uniting Families Act of 2002

Published:  Wed, Jan 29th 2014 @ 10:02 am EST

Sponsored by:  Sen. Thomas “Tom” Daschle [D-SD, 1987-2004] in the 107th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

S. 2493, the Uniting Families Act, reinstate the Section 245(i) amnesty for one-year that rewards illegal aliens with a de facto amnesty by allowing certain illegal aliens to apply for a green card and to remain in the country while their application is processed.

S. 2444: 

Immigration, Reform, Accountability, and Security Enhancement Act of 2002

Published:  Wed, Jan 29th 2014 @ 9:58 am EST

Sponsored by:  Sen. Edward “Ted” Kennedy [D-MA, 1962-2009] in the 107th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:

S. 1749: 

Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2001

Published:  Wed, Jan 29th 2014 @ 9:44 am EST

Sponsored by:  Sen. Edward “Ted” Kennedy [D-MA, 1962-2009] in the 107th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Support

S. 1749, Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act, would create a comprehensive alien tracking and identification system by implementing an entry-exit system with an integrated database of biometric identifiers for every visa holder. This would have greatly reduced the ability for a visa holder to overstay their visa and become an illegal alien in the U.S.

S. 1627: 

Visa Entry Reform Act of 2001

Published:  Wed, Jan 29th 2014 @ 9:41 am EST

Sponsored by:  Sen. Dianne Feinstein [D-CA] in the 107th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Support

S. 1627, the Visa Entry Reform Act, would create a comprehensive alien tracking and identification system that would implement an entry-exit system to check every visa holder upon entering and exiting the U.S. It would also help reduce the number of applicants who are denied refugee status but then fail to leave the country.

S. 1518: 

Visa Integrity and Security Act of 2001

Published:  Wed, Jan 29th 2014 @ 9:46 am EST

Sponsored by:  Sen. Christopher “Kit” Bond [R-MO, 1987-2010] in the 107th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Support

S. 1518, the Visa Integrity and Security Act, would have required H-1B employers to report to the INS as soon an H-1B visa holder has been fired or laid off. This reporting requirement would help deter visa overstays on the part of H-1B visa holders. It also would have implemented an entry-exit tracking system for visa holders. This would have helped reduce illegal immigration by signaling authorities when people who enter the U.S. legally on visas do not leave as then should and stay here illegally.

S. 1491

Published:  Wed, Jan 29th 2014 @ 9:45 am EST

Sponsored by:  Sen. Olympia Snowe [R-ME, 1995-2013] in the 107th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Support

S. 1491 would create and implement a fingerprint processing system for every visa holder. This would help increase interior enforcement by allowing for tracking of aliens while they are in the U.S. and decreasing the probability that an alien will overstay a visa and become an illegal alien.

S. 1291: 

Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act

Published:  Wed, Jan 29th 2014 @ 9:47 am EST

Sponsored by:  Sen. Orrin Hatch [R-UT] in the 107th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

S. 1291, the DREAM Act, would have granted in-state tuition and amnesty to illegal aliens under the age of 21 who had been physically present in the country for five years and are in 7th grade or above.

Published:  Wed, Jan 29th 2014 @ 9:43 am EST

Sponsored by:  Sen. Larry Craig [R-ID, 1991-2009] in the 107th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

S. 1161, the Agricultural Job Opportunity Benefits and Security Act, would grant amnesty to certain illegal aliens who have been working in the agricultural industry and displace American workers with more foreign workers.

S. 778: 

Section 245(i) Extension Act of 2001

Published:  Wed, Jan 29th 2014 @ 9:54 am EST

Sponsored by:  Sen. Charles “Chuck” Hagel [R-NE, 1997-2009] in the 107th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

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.”
