The S. 1639 CIR which the Senate will take up next Tuesday and attmpt to pass next week has a deadly provision which has gone unnoticed in the EB immigrant community. It is repeal of this provision under Section 419 of the S. 1639 bill and elimination of the opportunity to change employment for the EB-485 filers during and until EB-485 applications are decided regardless of the amount of delays they may have to endure after filing of EB-485 applications.

If it is going to happen all pending I-485 will be screwed
 
it was a mistake
Following is the update in http://www.immigration-law.com/ website Breaking News section:

06/24/2007: Errata Notice

There was an error in reporting removal of AC 21 Change of employment under S. 1639 and we stand corrected. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused to the readers.
 
I tried reading the existing law and the proposed one and it was not as bad as Oh Law earlier published and later withdrew. But who cares, that stupid bill will NEVER pass!! How can they say they are serious about CIR when they put absurd provisions such as American Citizens will pay each illegal immigrant a million dollars each as soon as the bill passes?

Except for a few senators, they aren't serious about CIR. That's why they keep throwing in poison pill amendments that will make it more difficult to pass into law.

Ultimately, all they want is status quo. They don't want legalization because the (former) illegals will start to demand more money which would mean less profits for the businesses that hire them (not to mention housekeepers and nannies being more expensive, which is something those politicians don't want to happen) and because it will be called the bad word "amnesty". They don't want mass deportation because it is too expensive to deport so many people, and their departure would also mean less profits for business. They don't want self-sponsorship of skilled immigrants because that would also mean less profits for business.

So ultimately, the CIR is just a political football and one day the game will be over with nothing achieved. Back to status quo, and 10 or 20 years from now they'll reintroduce the debate when we have 30 million instead of just 12-15 million illegal immigrants.
 
Jackolantern,

I absolutely agree with you. In fact your analysis is so much similar to mine that I feel that you have stolen my words. Way to go Sir......I hope all immigrants, both legal and illegal, realize these facts of life.
