Immigration Bill To Get Third Chance
As Mark Twain might say, reports of the Immigration Bill's death have been highly exaggerated.The bill might have been killed for the second time, but today's Wall Street Journal reports that at least three key parts of it may still have life (one of which, the Dream Act, I've previously written about). Yes, it's like Freddy Kruger. The bill never completely dies. These, too, must be killed: DREAM ACT: Would open up educational opportunities for the children of illegal immigrants and create a path to citizenship if they enlist in the military. AgJOBS Bill: A compromise between the United Farm Workers and producers, it focuses on illegal aliens who have a proven record of agricultural employment in the US and pledge to work requisite years to gain permanent residency. Tech-worker Visas: A variety of bills have been filed to triple the annual number of visas for high-skilled workers and make it easier for companies to petition for green cards, allowing foreign-born workers to become permanent residents.
