H.R. 1843: 

Save Our Small and Seasonal Businesses Act of 2007

Published:  Tue, Jan 28th 2014 @ 8:21 am EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. Bart Stupak [D-MI1, 1993-2010] in the 110th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

H.R. 1843, the Save Our Small and Seasonal Businesses Act, would exempt any alien who has been present in the United States as an H-2B nonimmigrant worker for any one of the previous three fiscal years and who is returning to work as an H-2B from counting against the 66,000-per-year cap on H-2B visas. This potentially triples the number of workers in a year and would make these provisions effective for five years.

H.R. 1758

Published:  Tue, Jan 28th 2014 @ 8:39 am EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. David Wu [D-OR1, 1999-2011] in the 110th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

H.R. 1758 would authorize DHS to issue up to 65,000 additional H-1B “high skill worker” visas per year (exempt from the extant 65,000-per-year cap) – fiscal years 2008 through 2012 – to aliens who meet H-1B admission requirements and who possess post-graduate degrees; would require an employer petitioning for such an H-1B nonimmigrant worker to make “qualified scholarship payments” to a U.S.

Save Our Small and Seasonal Businesses Act of 2007

Published:  Tue, Jan 28th 2014 @ 8:48 am EST

Sponsored by:  Sen. Barbara Mikulski [D-MD] in the 110th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

S. 988, Save Our Small and Seasonal Businesses Act of 2007, would have allowed an alien to return as an H-2B nonimmigrant worker without counting against the annual 66,000 cap if they had used an H-2B visa during one of the three previous fiscal years, effectively tripling the number of H-2B workers.

Published:  Tue, Jan 28th 2014 @ 8:37 am EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. Luis Gutiérrez [D-IL4] in the 110th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

H.R. 1645, the Security Through Regularized Immigration and a Vibrant Economy (STRIVE) Act, would grant amnesty to nearly all of the 12 million illegal aliens in the United States by one of several routes. It would also establish the H-2C guestworker program, through which 400,000 new workers (plus their spouses and minor children on an unlimited basis) may come to the United States annually. In addition, it would allow the annual cap on H-2C visas to be increased to as many as 600,000.

Published:  Tue, Jan 28th 2014 @ 8:44 am EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. Frank Pallone [D-NJ6] in the 110th congress

(Student visas have been shown to be an effective method for terrorist elements to lawfully enter, and then remain in the United States.

H.R. 1631: 

To amend section 245(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to eliminate the deadline for classification petition and labor certification filings.

Published:  Tue, Jan 28th 2014 @ 8:45 am EST

Published:  Mon, Jan 27th 2014 @ 2:30 pm EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. Rahm Emanuel [D-IL5, 2003-2009] in the 110th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

The bill would grant DHS the authority to waive the Visa Waiver Program’s (VWP) “low nonimmigrant visa refusal rate” requirements with respect to a country’s participation in the VWP (i.e., have a low nonimmigrant visa refusal rate for two years [averaging no more than two percent over both years, not exceeding 2.5 percent in any one year] or no more than a three percent refusal rate for the most recent fiscal year) if: (1) DHS determines that the country has mitigated security risks to the point that participation in the VWP would not compromise U.S.

S. 844: 

Unaccompanied Alien Child Protection Act of 2007

Published:  Tue, Jan 28th 2014 @ 8:43 am EST

Sponsored by:  Sen. Dianne Feinstein [D-CA] in the 110th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

The bill would ease the path to permanent residence for unaccompanied alien children (UACs) by opening up access to special immigrant juvenile status for any UAC who cannot make a persuasive case for asylum who is deemed to be a dependent of the state as a result of abuse, neglect, or abandonment; would entitle all UACs to legal counsel (likely through a government contractor’s search for competent, pro bono attorneys) and an independent child advocate to coordinate his/her sponsorship and legal needs.

Sponsored by:  Rep. Robert Wexler [D-FL19, 1997-2010] in the 110th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

The bill would authorize DHS to waive mandatory requirements for a country’s participation in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) – a program which now allows citizens of 27 countries to travel to the United States for up to 90 days without a visa, and, because there is little scrutiny of VWP “travelers,” has provided easy entry for terrorists and created a black market for stolen or forged passports from such countries – if the agency determines that: (1) the country has developed a viable plan to meet the requirements within three years; (2) the country has made significant progress (not define

Sponsored by:  Sen. Richard Durbin [D-IL] in the 110th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:

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.”
