IMMIGRATION LEGISLATION INTRODUCED 12/15/09
BACKLOG REDUCTION: A recapture of unused employment-based visas from fiscal years 1992-2008; allowance for future unused visa numbers to roll over to the next fiscal; exemption of spouses and children from the annual cap; increase in the per-country limit; and ability to file for Adjustment of Status before a visa number is available by paying a supplemental fee of $500 (though the visa cannot be issued until a visa number is available, the filing can allow for work authorization, travel authorization and maintenance of status).
WORK VERIFICATION: Makes E-verify work verification application to all employers; phases-in the system to make it applicable to all workers (current employees and new hires); creates additional penalties for an employer’s failure to follow the E-verify program
H-1b AND L-1 VISA PROGRAM: Creates requirement for employers to attempt to recruit U.S. workers before it can apply for an H-1b; increases penalties for H-1b violations; and creates penalties for L-1 violations
Rep. Gutierrez said, “We have waited patiently for a workable solution to our immigration crisis to be taken up by this Congress and our President. The time for waiting is over.”

cheers for rep. guttierez, the long awaited cir bill finally introduced….question is does it have enough support???we are all praying that it does,and doesnt end up as bush cir bill….
hats off to Rep.Gutierrez! more prayers!
Let all hope and pray that CIR bill will finally pass.
All things has it right time and as person who believe in divine interventions we can only do is just pray.
If other may say it is waste of time and etc…..Our wisdom is not the same with our Lord..we cannot predict what is His will in this CIR and retrogression.
God give us free will so it is up to us on how we will face this event either believe or not that CIR will pass through and retrogression will end.
regardless of the outcome we must all have a plan B ready. In any strategy, a contingency plan at hand is always the wisest move.
to see is to believe
very likely this will fail because of the high jobless rate in the USA. Believe me, watch it happen like before.
If Internet blogger's, the national and rural newspaper comments, forums or bulletin boards, are a national grading of passing Comprehensive Immigration Reform–FORGET IT! IT JUST ISN'T GOING TO HAPPEN! I follow the commentaries very carefully and my observation show a very negative response to any new law that indicates giving the 20 to 30 million illegal immigrants a more or less free passport to the road of citizenship. We don't have to forcibly deport, as E-Verify is the computer ideally suited to eject foreign labor from the all working locations? IT WORKS! It's success rate is climbing even higher, as its continuely modified. Under normal circumstances it would be an impossibility to pass any AMNESTY? But when the headlines scream that 15 million irate Americans and legal residents cannot find employment, the chances of giving another AMNESTY, is impossible–and absolutely, incredulous that they would even try? Advancing this insane reform law under the noses of middle class Americans is going to be a expiration of Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV), Speaker Pelosi, Napolitano and a whole mis-match of Democrats who are thinking they will be re-elected. Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) champion of his government in Mexico and throughout Central and South America will–NOT–survive his incumbent election. No tourist or student overstays are equally unwelcome in this nation of laws. CALL ALL YOUR SENATORS AND EVEN CONGRESSMEN/ WOMEN. NOW and urge them–NOT–to support COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM. IT'S NOT NEEDED? THE ! THE 1986 IMMIGRATION REFORM BILL WAS NEVER, EVER ENFORCED. The Capitol Switchboard's telephone number is 202-224-3121. REMEMBER TO SEND IN YOUR 28Cent POSTCARDS NOW! WE MUST DEFEAT THIS IMMIGRATION REFORM PACKAGE.
There must be heavy consequences to illegally settling here, such as upgrading the unauthorized entry to a felony. In the future we must have an orderly immigration recruitment system, but only for people with highly skilled qualifications. Guest Workers must be equally vetted and not just given permission without strict–return instructions home, after completing their contract. No family reunification, because this has been rife with fraud as sponsors end up reneging on the financial aspect. All this issues can easily be resolved with amendment to the 1986 immigration bill. What to do with 20 to 30 million illegal aliens from across the world, slowly repatriate them using the SAVE ACT. We are unable to afford the costs attributed to illegal immigration. Learning in the Sanctuary State of California has collapsed from the massive surge of illegal foreign nationals into the school system.
Observe CNN TV documentary this week, "California in Crisis" The state may still implode under the huge burden of supporting financially the illegal aliens with large families. Unrevealed billions of dollars are skimmed from state treasuries, to pay for the immigrants that cannot sustain themselves around this nation. The demented politicians in Sacramento are already talking about raising taxes. No state remains untouched by the unparalleled invasion of this great sovereign country.Understand the immigration enforcement gradings of your politicians at NUMBERSUSA. Understand how taxpayers have been taken for a ride for decades and the unrevealed costs to you. See what JUDICIAL WATCH has to say about CORRUPTION in WASHINGTON. IF AMNESTY PASSES WE ARE JUST A SHORT INTERLUDE FROM OVERPOPULATION AND A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY EXISTENCE.
