Anderson: What do you think is likely to happen?
Rand: It’s hard to say what’s likely at this point. Congress was never
going to pass a USCIS bailout as a standalone bill; the goal was always to
include it as part of the next Covid-19 response package. But now it looks
like there won’t be a Covid-19 response bill until September at the
earliest.
I’d like to believe that, at the very least, USCIS delays its furlough
start date until the end of September or later. This will happen if DHS
comes under enough pressure from lawmakers and stakeholders from both sides
of the aisle. After all, USCIS is about to lay off thousands of workers in
places that include Nebraska, Missouri, and Texas – and every single member
of Congress has constituents who will suffer if USCIS shuts down at the end
of the month.
If and when Congress does provide a one-time bailout to USCIS, it shouldn’t
be a blank check. Congress must ensure that from here on out, the agency is
subject to much stronger oversight and transparency requirements, and that
USCIS is no longer saddled with misguided policy mandates that drive up
costs for no good reason. | d****5

up the Corona relief bill including funding for USCIS is September. Unless
USCIS decides to delay the furlough like they did in July, or a separate
funding bill gets passed and signed by next Friday, the furlough is going to
happen. |
