H.R. 152, the National Guard Border Enforcement Act of 2011, would direct the Secretary of Defense to “provide for the deployment” of at least 10,000 National Guard members along the U.S./Mexico border. The National Guard would aid U.S. Customs and Border Protection activities in exchange for state funding and the ability to count border security against a unit’s military training requirement.
H.R. 98, Illegal Immigration Enforcement and Social Security Protection Act of 2011, would establish a mandatory employment eligibility verification system in which employers would be required to verify new hires' eligibility to work in the United States, and would upgrade Social Security cards' security features by including: (1) a digitized photograph of the rightful bearer; (2) an encrypted machine-readable electronic identification strip unique to the rightful bearer; and (3) additional anti-tampering, -counterfeiting, and -fraud security features.
H.R. 100, CLEAR Act of 2011, would reimburse local law enforcement agencies for the costs associated with incarcerating illegal aliens. The CLEAR Act would also recognize local law enforcement's authority to help enforce immigration law, improve information sharing between local law enforcement agencies and the federal government, and require the federal government to expeditiously remove criminal illegal aliens.
H.R. 140, Birthright Citizenship Act of 2011, would eliminate birthright citizenship, the process that automatically grants A1:I408 to the estimated 350,000 U.S.-born children of illegal aliens each year.
