Immigration Bills

H.R. 1196, the LEAVE Act, would prevent illegal aliens from purchasing homes or receiving taxpayer-funded housing, stop illegal aliens from receiving Social Security payments, create a births and deaths registry in order to reduce identity fraud, end birthright citizenship, and call for fencing of the border and an increase in the number of border control agents. H.R. 1196 would also mandate the use of the E-Verify program and allow local law enforcement agencies to enforce America's current immigration laws.

H.R. 1091, the Unlawful Border Entry Prevention Act, would amend the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 to authorize the Secretary of Homeland Security to construct no less than 350 miles of reinforced fencing along the United States-Mexico border, and to gain operational control over such border.

H.R. 787, the No Social Security for Illegal Immigrants Act, would prohibit work by an illegal alien from counting toward Social Security qualifications. This would apply to all work before, on, or after enactment of this legislation and would require the Commissioner of Social Security to recalculate allocations.

H.R. 695, the Legal Eligibility for Granting A Loan Act of 2011, would require a person seeking a mortgage to be verified with the E-Verify program before purchasing a home mortgage held by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or otherwise insured by the Federal Housing Administration.

H.R. 693, E-Verify Modernization Act of 2011, would make the E-Verify program permanent, make E-Verify mandatory for all new employees after 60 days, allows employers to check existing employees, and protect employers from having to spend resources training an employee before a confirmation.
