H.R. 32, the Defense of Legal Workers Act of 2015, would block funding for Pres. Obama's executive DAPA amnesty announced in Nov. 2014 and renewals for his 2012 DACA amnesty. This amnesty would result in work permits for approximately 7.1 million illegal aliens who are parents of U.S. citizens or meet other requirements.
H.R. 38, the Preventing Executive Overreach on Immigration Act of 2015, would block funding for Pres. Obama's executive DAPA amnesty announced in Nov. 2014. This amnesty would result in work permits for approximately 5 million illegal aliens who are parents of U.S. citizens. The legislation, however, would prevent an exemption, allowing some illegal aliens to receive amnesty.
H.R.155, the Defund Amnesty Act of 2015, would block funding for Pres. Obama's executive DAPA amnesty announced in Nov. 2014. This amnesty would result in work permits for approximately 5 million illegal aliens who are parents of U.S. citizens.
H.R. 5272 would defund DACA. The bill represents a serious effort to address the true cause of the current border crisis: President Obama's contempt for immigration law. The bill's language prevents the Obama Administration from expanding the existing illegal DACA amnesty program by using the primary power the Constitution reserves for the House of Representatives, the power of the purse. It prohibits the use of federal funds or resources for any further deferred action or work authorization for illegal aliens.
Making supplemental appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014, and for other purposes.
H.R. 5160 would prohibit any federal agency or instrumentality from using federal funding or resources to: (1) consider or adjudicate any new or previously denied application of any alien requesting consideration of deferred action for childhood arrivals, as authorized by Executive memorandum on August 15, 2012; or (2) authorize any alien to work in the United States who was not lawfully admitted into the United States and who is not in lawful status in the United States on the date of enactment of this Act.
S. 2631 would prohibit any federal agency or instrumentality from using federal funding or resources to: (1) consider or adjudicate any new or previously denied application of any alien requesting consideration of deferred action for childhood arrivals, as authorized by Executive memorandum on August 15, 2012; or (2) authorize any alien to work in the United States who was not lawfully admitted into the United States and who is not in lawful status in the United States on the date of enactment of this Act.
H.R. 5137, the Asylum Reform and Border Protection Act of 2014, represents one of the most thorough responses to the surge of unaccompanied alien children (UACs) at the Southwest border. Aside from repealing the requirements that resulted in UACs from contiguous countries receiving differing treatment than those from noncontiguous countries, this bill requires immigration officers to order all illegal entrants removed upon screening, absent an asylum claim. In order to encourage cooperation with return, foreign countries who resist repatriation will face cuts to foreign assistance.
H. Res. 326 would express the sense of the House of Representatives that any immigration reform proposal adopted by Congress should not legalize, grant amnesty for, or confer any other legal status condoning the otherwise unlawful entry or presence in the United States of any individual.
