Guys,
AILA's letter for "Support the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act of 2005, S. 1033/H.R. 2330" is more focussing on illegal/undocumented workers, adjustment of status for illegal workers and way to legalize them. This is major issue of debate for number of Senators/Congressman who may not want to support this move as they do not want amnesty who broke laws and they believe this will not solve border security issues and will not stop incoming flow of illegal immigration.
To be honest, we really don't care whether they support above issues or not. The huge bill includes number of other measures on immigration related matters besides solution for illegals. I think we need to stress on our problems which is absolutely legitimate and valid: retrgression solution for tech professionals, recapture of unused immigrant visas, increase employment based immigrant visa numbers to 290k or more and (may be direct adjustment for H1B workers who worked / paid taxes for 4 years as they suggested for illegal workers but we may decide to do this sometime later in another letter).
So bottomline is we need to address our employment-based immigrantion related issues and may indicate that part in the bill and thats why we support this bill. So even in the case, they don't agree on illegal issues, there is slight possibility that they may pass the bill with other measures or may introduce another bill that addresses our issues.
Just my 2 cents...
