H.R. 4302 would prohibit issuance of residential mortgages to illegal aliens, removing a huge incentive for illegal immigration, and remove the discretion of the Secretary of Homeland Security with respect to expedited removal. Expanding usage of expedited removal will ensure that illegal aliens do not get away with their immigration offense and compound it by remaining in America.
H.R. 3938, the Enforcement First Immigration Reform Act, would: 1) reduce rewards for illegal immigration by prohibiting Social Security for illegal aliens, 2) reduce chain migration by eliminating the Family 4th Preference category which allots 65,000 visas each year to the siblings of adult U.S.
H.R. 1438, the No Social Security for Illegal Immigrants Act, would prohibit work performed while an alien is unlawfully present in this country to count toward qualifying for Social Security benefits.
H.R. 884, the Agricultural Job Opportunities, Benefits, and Security Act, would create a massive agricultural guest-worker amnesty, allowing approximately 860,000 of the 1.2 million illegal aliens currently working in agriculture – plus their spouses and children – to qualify for this amnesty, thus pushing the total to three million or more. It would also reward illegal immigration by protecting illegal aliens granted temporary resident status from prosecution for Social Security fraud.
H.R. 925, the Identification Integrity Act, would make it harder for illegal aliens to gain government services and to otherwise profit from their illegal activity by prohibiting federal agencies from accepting foreign issued IDs (except for passports).
H.Con.Res. 50 was a concurrent resolution asking the President to refrain from transmitting the U.S.-Mexico totalization agreement to Congress. The U.S.-Mexico totalization agreement would reward certain illegal aliens from Mexico with Social Security benefits and potentially serve as an incentive for illegal immigration.
H.R. 368, the Driver’s License Security and Modernization Act, would require states to verify that an applicant for a state-issued driver's license or ID card is legally in the country before issuing the card.
H.R. 418, the REAL ID Act, would set federal standards for the the issuance of driver's licenses and a legal presence requirement that would make illegal aliens ineligible for driver's licenses. As well, H.R. 418 would tie the driver's license expiration date of a temporary visa holder to the expiration date of their visa so that those who enter the country legally as visa holders, but become illegal aliens by overstaying their visas, will not have a valid driver's license after the date of the expiration of their visa.
H.R. 251, the Preserving Educational Opportunities for Immigrant Children Act, would reward certain illegal aliens under the age of 18 with amnesty -- an estimated 500,000 to 600,000 illegal aliens would qualify for this amnesty. It would also reward certain illegal aliens under the age of 18 with in-state tuition rates for their postsecondary education.
H.Res. 20 would express the disapproval of the House of Representatives of the Social Security totalization agreement between the United States and Mexico that would allow illegal aliens from Mexico to apply for Social Security once they either leave the U.S. or obtain legal status.
