ничего не говорится (я не нашла) про выкидывание семейных категорий, зато говорится о том чтобы запретить судам форсировать бакграунд и нейм чек или освобождать от него, и в явной форме говорит что никаких временных ограничений на эти проверки быть не должно (SEC 531)..

Дядюшка О сегодня опубликовал статус переговоров. Почитайте у него, там много интересного. Хотя он известный паникер, так что относитесь к его творчеству с долей скептицизма.
Что-то слабо верится, что демократы сдали всю семейную иммиграцию в обмен на амнистию.

Это кто? Скажите уж где читать..
Мне тоже не верится что вся семейная имммиграция уйдет в помойку (мой шкурный интерс впрочем это только родители граждан), но я столько имела дело с иммиграциями в разных странах, что в принципе на эти вещи смотрю очень пессимистично..

05/17/2007: Shocking Compromise Poised to be Announced Before the Senate Floor's Rescheduled CIR Debate on Monday, 05/21/2007
The following report of the AILA requires the immediate action by the immigration stateholders and supporters, particularly legal immigration community!
"It appears that Senate Democrats, Republicans and the White House are poised to announce that their backroom negotiations have produced a "grand bargain." The deal, as described, raises at least four major concerns. As a trade-off for a strong legalization program (including AgJOBS and the DREAM Act) and significant reductions in the current family backlogs, the negotiators propose to:
(1) Eliminate four of the current family preference categories (1, 2B, 3, and 4);
(2) Overhaul our current employment-based immigration system and replace it with a "merit-based" point system;
(3) Maintain annual green card numbers at their current levels guaranteeing continued systemic dysfunction from burgeoning backlogs; and
(4) Preclude a meaningful path to permanent residence for new temporary workers.
This radical shift from an immigration system grounded in familial and employment relationships to one disconnected from direct ties to the U.S. amounts to large-scale social experimentation. Combined with the creation of a large, fluctuating pool of "guest workers" who cannot lay down roots in the U.S., this point system raises the specter of a new generation of immigrants lacking the infrastructure and opportunity to effectively assimilate into this country. A practical solution for the undocumented population is an enormously important step in the right direction. But the cost of fixing our current problems cannot be the creation of bigger problems in the future."
Please contact your Senators now and urge them to oppose any deal that:
Eviscerates family-based immigration;
Includes a radical new, untested "merit" system;
Fails to expand the pool of green cards critical to high-skilled and low-skilled industries throughout our economy; and
Prevents temporary workers from earning and pursuing permanent residence.
This webside all along has been advocating and supporting a balanced approach to the comprehensive immigration reform legislation and national policy. This so-called Grand Bargain has tipped the scale completely 180% around in that it focuses on the illegal immigration reform at the sacrifice of legal immigration system including both family-based and employment-based immigration. What this compromise is attempting to do is to accept flood of temporary or illegal immigrants (millions) and narrow the door for future legal immigrants (both family-based and employment-based).
This is the time for the immigrant community to stand up, unite, and fight against such crippled immigration reform. Please start contacting Senators, Congress people, employers, and other groups to publicize the upcoming twisted backdoor compromise. Please read yesterday's posting on Senator Durbin's statement on the floor. It is dispicable that the CIR which they themselves passed last year is opposed by the same people who participated and voted for the bill!

Я так понял, что с товарищем Рейдом они еще не договорились. А он все-таки лидер демократического большинства в Сенате.

Border Security and Immigration Reform Act of 2007
Title I
Title I requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to certify that the triggers are met before the Title IV (Guest Worker) and Title VI (Z visa ) programs can begin, with the exception of probationary status for Z workers and the programs for agricultural workers.
Triggers include:
18,000 (CBP) Border Patrol hired
Construction of 200 miles of vehicle barriers and 370 miles of fencing
70 ground-based radar and camera towers along the southern border
Deployment of 4 Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and supporting systems
The ending of catch-and-release
Resources to detain up to 27,500 aliens per day on an annual basis
The use of secure and effective identification tools to prevent unauthorized work.
The receiving and processing and adjudicating of applications for Z status.
Title I also includes authorities and resources to augment border security including:
physical infrastructure along the border
additional field and investigative agents
comprehensive plans and studies of the border region
revisions to law enforcement techniques and enhanced authorities.
Title II
Title II provides for interior enforcement of immigration laws.
The stiffening of laws and penalties relate to:
the detention of criminal aliens
the definition of aggravated felony
gang violence
passport, visa, and immigration fraud, including marriage fraud
Other provisions include language regarding:
Increased penalties for illegal entry and reentry
encouraging aliens to depart voluntarily
prohibiting aliens from possessing firearms
alternatives to detention
state and local law enforcement reimbursement and training
the streamlining of background checks for immigration status
Title III
Title III addresses workplace enforcement by increasing penalties, revising and making mandatory a system of electronic employment verification, and promoting information sharing.
This Title designs a worksite enforcement system that relies on electronic employment verification and a reduced list of documents that may be presented to employers to prove identity and work eligibility.
Also increases penalties significantly over current law for unlawful hiring, employment, and recordkeeping violations.
Verification of employees: As of the date of enactment, employers in national security-related industries, industries involving critical infrastructure, and federal contractors may be required to electronically verify employees, including new hires and/or current employees, with additional employers or industries added after 6 months.
All employers would be required to electronically verify new hires within 18 months of enactment, or on the date on which the Secretary certifies that the system is operational.
Once the system is implemented, all employers would be required to verify all current employees within by 3 years after enactment.
Structure of the EEVS: After the date of hire but no later than the first day of employment, the employer must transmit to the EEVS via the Internet the data that the employer has taken from the worker's identity and work eligibility documents.
Inconclusive determinations: Where the EEVS cannot conclusively determine the status of a worker's eligibility, a further action notice is issued and the individual must contact the appropriate federal or state agency to initiate resolution of status and the individual continues to work while the agency resolves his or her status.
Final nonconfirmation: If the employer has received a final non-confirmation regarding an individual, the employer must terminate the employment of the individual, unless the individual files an administrative appeal of a final non-confirmation notice within 15 days.
Data and Information Sharing: The Commissioner of Social Security must information to the Secretary of DHS regarding data contained within the Social Security database as in relates to employment verification.
Fraud and tamper resistant social security cards: Not later than 180 days after date of enactment, the Commissioner is required to begin work to administer and issue fraud-resistant, tamper-resistant Social Security cards.
Title IV
Title IV establishes a new temporary Y worker program to address future labor needs of temporary foreign workers and discourage future illegal employment of undocumented individuals. The title also includes measures to protect the rights of U.S. and foreign workers and prevent the U.S. employer from abusing the program.
Structure of new visa programs: This title creates a new future temporary worker program for workers who are coming to the U.S. to perform temporary job that the U.S. employer is unable to fill. It provides for:
non-seasonal Y temporary worker (Y-1 visa)
seasonal temporary worker
Y-2A for agricultural workers, sheepherder, goat herders, and dairy workers
Y-2B for non-agricultural workers; and
their spouses and minor children (Y-3 visa).
Matching Willing Workers with Willing Employers: All Y workers must be matched to a "willing employers" through an electronic database in order to qualify for a Y worker visa.
Families of Y visa holders: can only accompany Y workers if the worker can:
show proof of valid medical insurance and
demonstrate that the wages of the principal Y nonimmigrant(s) are 150% above poverty level for the household size.
Spouses and children who do not qualify for Y-3 visa may be admitted under other nonimmigrant status.
Period of admission: A Y-1 worker can be admitted for a two year period that can be renewed twice if that worker spends a period of one year outside the United States between each admission.
A Y-1 accompanied by dependents is afforded a single two year visa, non-renewable.
Workers with Y-2A and Y-2B visa qualify for 10 month visas; no extensions may be granted.
Permanent Bar: Y worker who fails to timely depart is permanently barred from any future immigration benefit.
Wage: The employer must attest that the Y worker will be paid not less than the greater of the actual wage paid by the employer to all other similarly situated workers or the "prevailing competitive wage."
Numerical Limitation: The Y-1 visa program has an initial cap of 400,000 with yearly adjustments based on market fluctuations.
There are no numerical limitations for Y-2A while the Y-2B visas are initially capped at 100,000 with yearly adjustment based on market fluctuations.
The market-based fluctuation is adjusted every 6 months during the fiscal year.
The Y-3 visa for spouses and minor children limit may not exceed 20% of annual limit for Y-1 visas.
A newly created Standing Commission will make recommendations to Congress regarding the Y visa numerical cap for each fiscal year following the initial year of the program
Title V
Title V restructures and rebalances the current system by which green cards are distributed.
Rebalancing of Immigrant Visa Allocation: Resets the number of family-based, family backlog, merit-based immigrants, and eventual Z immigration green cards.
The family categories are less than under current law since several of the extended family categories are reduced, while the merit-based is increased over the current employment-based levels after the processing of the family-based backlog.
An annual total of 440,000 visas are allotted to process the backlog of family-based categories.
It is estimated that the family backlog cases can all be processed in 8 years.
An annual total of 10,000 visas are set aside for exceptional Y workers.
Merit Based Points System: The current employment based green card system will be replaced by a merit based points system.
Reducing Chain Migration and Permitting Petitions by Nationals: Elimination and reconfiguring of the following family-based preference categories:
First: Unmarried Sons and Daughters of Citizens
Second: Unmarried Sons and Daughters of Permanent Residents other than spouses and minor children of permanent residents
Third: Married Sons and Daughters of Citizens
Fourth: Brothers and Sisters of Adult Citizens
Sets cap of 40,000 per fiscal year on category for parents of U.S. citizens.
Sets cap of 87,000 per fiscal year on the second preference category for spouses and children of permanent residents.
Elimination of Backlog: If the family-based visa petition in the eliminated category is filed before May 1, 2005, the petition can be processed under the prior law.

Похоже полного текста еще не опубликовано...
Опубликованные тезисы - это именно компромиссный вариант. Просто полного релиза пока еще не было. Странно, что компромиссный билл до боли напоминает полуфабрикат, приготовленный в администрации Буша и не так давно опубликованный.
Собственно компромисса-то я и не увидел. Если демократы сдадут семейную иммиграцию, то они рискуют сильно пролететь на президентских выборах.
Лично мне этот билл абсолютно не нравится. Хочется верить в то, что большинству в сенате он тоже не понравится.
