S. 1545, the DREAM Act, would 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 amnesty. An estimated 500,000 to 600,000 illegal aliens would have qualified 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.

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

H.R. 1684, the Student Adjustment Act, would reward illegal immigration by adjusting the status of certain college-age illegal aliens to legal permanent resident for the purpose of receiving in-state college tuition rates. It would also be a defacto amnesty to grant legal status to certain college-age illegal aliens who would qualify to receive in-state tuition rates. An estimated 500,000 to 600,000 illegal aliens would have qualified for this amnesty.

Published: 

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

H.R. 773, the 21st Century Access to Banking Act, would authorize financial institutions to accept matricula consular ID cards as a valid form of identification. This would have allowed illegal aliens to use the non-secure and non-verifiable matricula consular ID card to open bank accounts in the United States, thus making it easier for illegal aliens to live and work in the United States.

Identification Integrity Act of 2003

Published: 

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Support

H.R. 687, the Identification Integrity Act, would prohibit federal agencies from accepting non-verifiable ID documents issued by foreign governments, such as the matricula consular. This would have prevented illegal aliens from being able to open a bank account or to apply for any federally provided public benefit.

H.R. 502

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Support

H.R. 502 would have required a secure and verifiable ID be used to obtain Federal public benefits. This would prohibit federal agencies from accepting non-verifiable ID documents issued by foreign governments, such as the matricula consular, thus preventing illegal aliens from applying for any federally provided public benefit.

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

S. 8, the Educational Excellence for All Learners Act, would reward illegal aliens with amnesty by granting in-state tuition and amnesty to certain college-age illegal aliens.

Immigration Control and Financial Responsibility Act of 1996

Published: 

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Support

H.R. 2202, the Immigration in the National Interest Act of 1995, was a large omnibus bill designed to reform the entire immigration system. The legal immigration reforms it included were based on the bi-partisan Barbara Jordan Commission's recommendations for cutting the major links of family-chain migration and protecting American workers from further wage depression. The bill would have eliminated the categories for adult children and siblings and limited that for parents of adults.

H.R. 1915: 

Immigration in the National Interest Act of 1995

Published: 

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Support

H.R. 1915, the Immigration in the National Interest Act, would have shifted the primary focus of immigration policy to spouses and minor children from extended family and to skilled immigrants from less skilled ones. It would have set a ceiling of 330,000 on family-based immigration. In addition this bill would have increased the number of skilled workers, while eliminating the unskilled worker category and the lottery program. H.R. 1915 also contained provisions designed to reduce illegal immigration such as worker verification programs.
