H.R. 2377: 

Encourage New Legalized Immigrants to Start Training (ENLIST) Act

Published:  Thu, Jan 23rd 2014 @ 2:30 pm EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. Jeff Denham [R-CA10] in the 113th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

H.R. 2377, the Encourage New Legalized Immigrants to Start Training (ENLIST) Act, would provide amnesty in the form of conditional legal permanent residence to aliens who enlist in the U.S. Armed Forces. Eligible aliens must have been unlawfully present in the U.S. prior to 2012, continuously present in the U.S. since that date, younger than 15 upon initial entry, and otherwise eligible for enlistment. That conditional status is rescinded if the alien separates from the Armed Forces prior to completing the term of enlistment for anything other than honorable conditions.

H.R. 1760: 

Immigration and Naturalization Investment Ventures for Engineering, Science, and Technology in America Act of 2013

Published:  Thu, Jan 23rd 2014 @ 2:50 pm EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. Adam Schiff [D-CA28] in the 113th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

H.R. 1760, the INVEST in America Act would provide 9,940 new conditional green cards per year for certain qualifying aliens in a field of science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM), who already have an F-1 (student) or H-1B (high skilled worker) visa. Qualifying aliens must have or be working toward a STEM graduate degree, establish and engage in a new commercial enterprise relevant to that STEM degree, and submit a business plan to create at least 5 new full-time jobs for U.S. workers.

S. 744: 

Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act

Published:  Thu, Jan 23rd 2014 @ 12:54 pm EST

Sponsored by:  Sen. Charles Schumer [D-NY] in the 113th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

S. 744, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act, was a massive immigration reform bill, introduced by the 'Gang of 8' that would result in approximately 30 million new permanent work permits issued in the first 10 years if passed. The bill would grant legal status and worker permits to an estimated 11 million illegal aliens with an opportunity for green cards after 10 years and replace some family-based immigration categories with a merit-based points system.

H.R. 1417: 

Border Security Results Act of 2013

Published:  Thu, Jan 23rd 2014 @ 11:56 am EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. Michael McCaul [R-TX10] in the 113th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

H.R. 1417, the Border Security Results Act of 2013, addresses border security, but does little to guarantee an actual border security results. Rather than require the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to gain control of U.S. Borders, this act merely requires the Secretary to submit a plan to gain operational control of only the southern borders within 5 years. Operational control is met when the DHS determines that it has apprehended and turned back at least 90% of those who try to enter the U.S. illegally.

H.R. 714: 

Startup Act 3.0

Published:  Thu, Jan 23rd 2014 @ 2:49 pm EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. Michael Grimm [R-NY11] in the 113th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

H.R. 714, the Startup Act 3.0, would establish 125,000 new conditional permanent resident visas: 50,000 for graduates in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and 75,000 for qualified immigrant entrepreneurs. STEM graduates must remain “actively engaged” in a STEM field for 5 years in order to retain the visa, which includes a year of diligently searching for employment and the remaining years employed in the U.S. in a STEM field.

H.R. 435: 

Military Enlistment Opportunity Act of 2013

Published:  Thu, Jan 23rd 2014 @ 2:23 pm EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. Mike Coffman [R-CO6] in the 113th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

H.R. 435, the Military Enlistment Opportunity Act, would allow aliens who have resided lawfully in the U.S. or who have received employment authorization throughDeferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) to enlist in the U.S. Armed Forces. DACA recipient aliens shall be adjusted to legal permanent resident (LPR) status upon enlistment. This status is rescinded if the alien is separated from the armed forces prior to an aggregated 5 years of service, unless the separation is under honorable conditions.

H.R. 406: 

H.R. 406

Published:  Thu, Jan 23rd 2014 @ 2:44 pm EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. José Serrano [D-NY15] in the 113th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

H.R. 406, would give immigration judges discretion to determine if an alien parent of a U.S. citizen child should be ordered removed, deported, or excluded, if such an order would be clearly against the best interests of the child. Certain aliens who pose at least one of several security threats or were engaged in sex trafficking do not count for the purposes of this bill.

H.R. 300: 

Visa Waiver for Israel Act of 2013

Published:  Thu, Jan 23rd 2014 @ 2:43 pm EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. Brad Sherman [D-CA30] in the 113th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

H.R. 300, the Visa Wavier for Israel Act, would deem the country of Israel to be a program country for the visa waiver program (VWP), effective once Israel has complied with various State Department and Homeland Security requests that focus on national security and information sharing. The VWP allows citizens from select qualifying countries to enter the U.S. for tourism or business for 90 days or less without first obtaining a visa.

H.R. 242: 

Legal Agricultural Workforce Act

Published:  Thu, Jan 23rd 2014 @ 2:28 pm EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. Dennis Ross [R-FL15] in the 113th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

Establishes a new program for a new class of temporary nonimmigrant agricultural workers (W) in addition to the already existing H-2A program. With visas limited to 10- month periods, the new system would try and protect American workers by utilizing an internet-based job registry to help employers recruit U.S. workers. The program would attempt to prevent abuse of the system by requiring the use of biometric cards by W-Visa holders and giving financial incentive for the aliens to return home when their visas expire.

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.”
