Border Security and Immigration Reform Act of 2007--Summary

American Council for Immigration Reform

Right. I am going through the document now. I notice that Y nonimmigrant shall not be denied any right or any remedy under Federal, State, or local labor or employment law that would be applicable to a United States worker employed in a similar position with the employer because of the alien’s status as a nonimmigrant worker."

So far, I notice plenty of grants by the Federal govenrment to state and local governments to cover educational, medical costs, etc. This will take a huge bureaucracy to administer. To me, it seems unworkable. The 400,000 Y visa immigrants [guest workers] will be allowed to bring in their families. I can't see them going home after being here six years [2 years initially and two two year extensions]. And I haven't gotten to the Z and probationary visa holders. The numbers are going to be staggering.

Enforcement only first! The feds have zero credibility on the enforcement issue.

FYI, this seems to be the same document that is hosted here by American Immigration Lawyers Association.

They appear to be opposed to this draft because they think it is too strict.
