01/25/2011
Yesterday, the Majority Leader, Senator Harry Reid, introduced S.6 bill in
the Senate to reform America's broken immigration system, co-sponsored by
nine other Senators. This is one of the ten bills he placed in the Senate's
priority agenda for the 112th Congress. This has a long way to go ahead, but
it symbolizes the Senate Democrats' plan to initiate debate on this key
issue. Please stay tuned to this web site for the development of this
legislation.
Text of S.6:
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Reform America's Broken Immigration System
Act''.
SEC. 2. SENSE OF THE SENATE.
It is the sense of the Senate that Congress should--
(1) fulfill and strengthen our Nation's commitments regarding border
security;
(2) pass legislation to support our national and economic security, such as
the DREAM Act, which would allow students who came to America before turning
16 to earn citizenship by attending college or joining the armed forces,
and AgJobs, which would help to ensure a stable and legal agricultural
workforce and protect the sustainability of the American agricultural
industry;
(3) implement a rational legal immigration system to ensure that the best
and brightest minds of the world can come to the United States and create
jobs for Americans while, at the same time, safeguarding the rights and
wages of American workers;
(4) require all United States workers to obtain secure, tamper-proof
identification to prevent employers from hiring people here illegally, and
toughen penalties on employers who break labor and immigration laws;
(5) hold people accountable who are currently here illegally by requiring
them to either earn legal status through a series of penalties, sanctions,
and requirements, or face immediate deportation; and
(6) adopt practical and fair immigration reforms to help ensure that
families are able to be together. | h*********n
