Senator Cornyn and legalizing illegal immigrants bill

Please read before writing a complaint

According to the proposal, Sen. John Cornyn’s guest worker program would allow some undocumented immigrants to legally hold a job for up to three years while working toward full-time residency.

As is the case of the important involvement in this country’s economy by IT engineers from India, laborers from Latin America, mainly Mexico, play a critical role in certain sectors such as agriculture, construction and services. Currently, these laborers pay taxes thru their employers, but are not allowed having any benefits, such as health care.

Also, the proposal requires employers looking to hire temporary guest workers to apply to the Labor Department describing the lack of workers in that area and the wages to be paid. Bear in mind that these people are already here, and will stay here, because no one else wants to do what they do. They are part of the economy, and the purpose of this bill is to legally recognize them as workers in this country.

What I was meaning was if they go through with this bill then the BCIS folks will be processing these applicants and because of the scarce resources the employment based folks who are already in here would suffer.

Perhaps we should write to Cornyn saying that the processing times of the legal folks who are already in here should not be affected because of this bill.

It is like asking “would you vote”. Some people think that their vote makes a difference and some think that their vote doesn’t count. I am one who thinks your vote counts.

May be all the letters/correspondence that the folks in this forum has been sending to the different folks has made TSC move. Who knows.

If this goes through

Unfortunately, the decision on passing or rejecting this bill will not be made on the basis of whether or not BCIS has the resources to process these cases. We are powerless in this case. Our only recourse is to continue filing complaints about our situation. Of course, you can write your member of Congress to indicate your disapproval of this bill, but if you do it on the basis of BCIS resources, no-one will care.
