who introduced the bill? I cannot find S 9 bill at senate.gov
thanks
Here is the link
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/thomas
if you found broken link, go to http://thomas.loc.gov/ and search for bill S 9
As you know, all the pending bills of 109th Congress are dead and they can be re-introduced in 110th Congress with new number. It could be little different than last year CIR. Most probably SKIL and AgJob will be included in new CIR. Still text of bill is not out

Continuous Resolution bill (HJ Res. 20) is now on the floor of Senate. House has already passed it. Yesterday, Senate filed "Motion of Cloture". If MOC pass today, it will have limited discussion and amendments. Following amendments were presented to HJ Res. 20 (unfortunately nothing related to immigration). I guess, no chance of further amendments for this bill. We have to move forward toward SKIL (which is still not introduced in Congress) or CIR.

Help us out of the country
It appears that no immigration provision will be attached with must pass HJ Res. 20 bill. In spite of lot of pressure from Health care Industry, High tech Industry and aila, IV etc., Congress is not in a mood to give any piecemeal and want to address issue in a comprehensive manner with CIR. The reason was well described by walanpond (Aman) at IV as follow:
"Most of the groups and companies have stopped pushing for temporary relief because any kind of temporary relief or interim relief chips away support from CIR and the offices of Senate and House Leadership along with other proponents of CIR have made it clear that any immigration relief has to be a part of CIR and not outside of it. Other companies/coalitions have stopped pushing for temporary H-1B increase as they do not want to be in the bad books of committee chairmen and the leadership offices by trying to sneak temporary relief that divides the supporters of CIR. Leadership wants support for CIR and want all sides to wait for CIR. And not doing so and trying to get interim relief before CIR would put them in bad books of Senate and House leadership, which no one wants coz if CIR fails, then after CIR, these offices will not co-operate with any group that tried to take away support from CIR."
This is the reason I was opposing interim push of I 485 filing without PD. I wanted that all my friends (who were not agree with me) should not only have I 485 filing but GC as well !!
According to me, Congress is much more serious to table CIR very soon. We like or not but CIR would be our next and final rider.
We all EB community forget our differences and should work hard to get all our provisions in CIR. Good luck to all

It doesn't add up. How come SKIL is not introduced after the push from AILA, IV etc. Maybe nothing was pushed at all or maybe AILA, IV do not have a push.... I think IV should not open its mouth when it can't get anything done and wait for something to get passed.

It is all over for IV's single point I485 relief only agenda which they called the interim agenda among other things.
It is clear that the Agriculture Workers Immigration bill was a trial balloon and it was shot down. I think this event was taken as a cue by all other Senators who were even thinking to introduce SKIL or PACE or anything else. Bottom line, whether we like it or not:
1) Illegal immigration reform will be resolved first - either it gets formally shot down in the House or it gets enacted
2) Only after Illegal immigration related vote banks are appeased will any relief be considered for legal immigrants to this country
3) CIR will be the only vehicle to bring retrogression relief to us. Only if it fails badly will piece meal relief be considered by politicians.
4) We might as well stop worrying about anything till March when CIR is likely to be tabled. Till then it is just pure conjecture.
5) Organizations like IV should try to unite their members. Their single point interim agenda created a lot of bad blood and no gain. They lost some of their most hard working members, who they gladly sacrificed, too lost in their own self confidence. It is time that the mistakes are mended and that unity is brought about to root out retrogression.

Hard working members like you were lost since the single point agenda did not go along with your agenda of EB relief. Give us a break....
I think IV did the right thing of having a single point agenda since that is the most they could have pushed for, if at all.... I am sorry they lost hardworking members like you in the process However this forum is better off without the likes of you/IV rejects.

if you do not support IV thats one thing.......but atleast try to think twice what you are saying....
its so amazing that people will start supporting IV only when they have a legislation passed to provide relief to EB people..........WOW......i hope you know what a legislation is??
I agree with you that what IV is trying to do is almost impossible.....but that does not mean they should have the same views as us..........they believe in it and they are trying for it.......
i agree that the same time and effort can be spent for the betterment of our life rather than running behind a legislation......which is totally controlled by politicians who dont care for their own country.....forget about immigrants...
so we dont beleive in that path.......so what......let them do their work......you do what is best for you................why do you have to discredit their efforts.....
i just saw another post of yours, trying to show your big brains again................please tell me your are just 20 or 22

I have noticed that whatever you talk is just with the intention to cause arguments. You also do not have any basis for making your comments here. Just pulling lines out of thin air is your style. You attack all and sundry with your crappy comments. You are a complete and utter moron.
In future I am just going to ignore anything you say because are an insult to the collective intelligence of the members here.
Purplehazea,
If I remember your earlier comments (posted on the forum) your I 485 has been pending due to retrogession, you have publicly solicited support for IV and then when IV did not want to pursue anything else than I 485 filing push, you were pushed out of IV and went aaginst it. Everything is on the forum. Do not try and say things for others and for IV. You have been dismissed by IV, don't try and push your agenda.
Look at your last post about the failure of IV to push the I-485 filing agenda again. You seem almost happy that they failed.
You have been dismissed by IV and now you are fired!

You are a loser NYC. Once again you are pooping here without any evidence. How do you know that I am still not an IV member. Get a psych evaluation done for yourself. Or maybe you are typing from your wheel chair. Retard!
Purplehazea,
Avoid NYC. He don't know what he is talking. He don't know how to respect self and other.
Perplehazea's agenda is to end retrogression and it is not going to help only him but all EB community. I don't know what he is talking about!!

khodalmd,
sorry if you have already mentioned this, but is HJ Res. 20 in any way related to immigration? if not, then just wondering how corny'ns amendment could be related to immigration. I have heard that this year, unlike last year, package deals with a lot of unrelated provisions are not going to pass, or even be introduced.
(hope I heard wrong!)

Yes you are right. The latest news is Congress leadership is not going to attach any piecemeal immigration provision.
But earlier there was strong rumor that Senate may attach some of the provisions with must pass HJ Res 20. In the past also they attached immigration provisions with must pass Resolution bill.
Yesterday, they introduced lot of amendments (you never know, something can be sneaked in last moment). Health care industry is heavily pushing recapture of unused visa for Scheduled A. They also snatched away 50K unused visa in 2005. If Schedule A successful in last moment, it would be big loss to all of us.
Again I am not sure about the language of amendments introduced yesterday. As Senator Cornyn is very positive for H1B/EB provision, I posted possibilities.

Purplehazea,
If you are still a IV member, why are u posting messages on this forum now; first for IV and now against IV, enjoying IV's failures.
Why don't you and other IV guys like khodalmd who were thrown out of IV take your own agenda's and get your sorry butt out of here.
Please push your agenda through IV. If IV did not treat you well and wanted to have its own single point agenda you should get in line with IV rather than crying over here.
