SEC. 756. GRANT PROGRAM TO ASSIST ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS.

(a) Short Title- This section may be cited as the `Initial Entry, Adjustment, and Citizenship Assistance Grant Act of 2007'.

(b) Purpose- The purpose of this section is to establish a grant program within the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services that provides funding to community-based organizations, including community-based legal service organizations, as appropriate, to develop and implement programs to assist eligible applicants for the conditional nonimmigrant worker program established under this Act by providing them with the services described in subsection (d)(2).

(c) Definitions- In this section:

(1) COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATION- The term `community-based organization' means a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization, including a faith-based organization, whose staff has experience and expertise in meeting the legal, social, educational, cultural educational, or cultural needs of immigrants, refugees, persons granted asylum, or persons applying for such statuses.

You know, it's not enough for our esteemed Senators to enact a law inviting masses of foreign workers in, but they also insist on gratuitously shoveling mountains of our tax money into the hands of immigrant advocacy groups.

If employers insist they need the Mexican guest workers, why can't those employers that are supposedly saving so much money by hiring cheap foreigners pay these costs????

The 24 hour deadline is nothing more than a revolving door and a rubber stamp. Might as well give the criminal invaders a gun card too.

See #38 — they’ve put in a half-$$billion$$ for UAVs.
Methinks we’ll see (or not see) that “vitrual” fence. :-(

Before they are done, they will be proposing to build a fence along the southern border of Mexico—with our tax dollars!

Check out post #34. They are not going to let Mexico pay for a fence in their country. He!!s, be!!s, we are going to do everything possible to make this bill into the NAU without anyone knowing. Have you noticed how many times the words "North America" is used instead of the U.S.?

Sorry, I had my posts mixed up. I knew I had read that we are going to guard the southern border of Mexico or at least pay for it. This is the NAU in progress.

Did you notice that this whole thing is funded, except were it calls for increased manpower for enforcement then it states “ Subject to the AVAILABILITY OF APPROPRIATIONS”
Guess what they are not going to have funds for.

What were the names of the "community-based organizations" who had a seat at the table when this bill was being worked on?

The groups that had input in the writing of this bill also stand to gain financially?

Oh, this bill smells worse with each passing hour...
