Immigration Bills

H.R. 229, the Biometric Exit Improvement Act, would give the Department of Homeland Security more time to implement the Congressionally-mandated biometric entry-exit system.

H.R.192, the SHUT Act, would prevent illegal aliens from receiving the Earned Income Tax Credits.

S. 98, the STEM Jobs Act of 2015, would cancel the visa lottery program and transfer the 55,000 yearly visas that would have been granted through the visa lottery into two new priority categories (doctorate and masters degree) under 203(b). For the first two fiscal years of the program, unused visas for which petitions or applications for labor certification have been filed will be added to the total visas for the next fiscal year. Following the first two years, remaining unused visas do not transfer to the next fiscal year.

H.R. 29, the Separation of Powers Act of 2015, would block funding for the issuance of green cards to any illegal aliens unless the alien's case is reviewed on an individual basis and it's for urgent humanitarian reasons. It would also block funding for the issuance of green cards or work permits to any illegal alien currently living in the United States.

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.
