An estimated 500,000 to 600,000 illegal aliens would qualify for this amnesty. It would also reward illegal aliens under the age of 21, who have been physically present in the country for five years and are in 7th grade or above, with in-state tuition rates at colleges and universities.
H.R. 3450, the Liberian Refugee Immigration Protection Act, would reward certain illegal aliens from Liberia who were previously granted Temporary Protected Status with permanent residency.
H.R. 3402, the Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act, would loosen the rules governing visas for victims of trafficking and domestic violence and their families, resulting in an increase in chain migration and loosen the rules governing visas for victims of trafficking and domestic violence and their families and would reward certain illegal aliens with amnesty.

S. 1033, the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act, would: 1) increase permanent, legal immigration by adding an extra 254,000 family-based visas annually; 2) reward virtually all illegal aliens (except those with criminal records or terrorist connections) with amnesty, potentially rewarding 9 million illegal aliens; and 3) create a brand new guest worker program that would bring in 400,000 unskilled workers the first year, potentially allowing for a total increase of anywhere from 10 to 20 percent each year thereafter.
H.R. 2092, the Save America Comprehensive Immigration Act, would double to 960,000 the number of visas available to family-based immigrants and it would grant nonimmigrant status to any would-be family-based immigrant for whom a visa is not immediately available.
