Bipartisan Framework for Comprehensive Immigration Reform

Introduction
We recognize that our immigration system is broken. And while border security has improved significantly over the last two Administrations, we still don’t have a functioning immigration system. This has created a situation where up to 11 million undocumented immigrants are living in the shadows. Our legislation acknowledges these realities by finally committing the resources needed to secure the border, modernize and streamline our current legal immigration system, while creating a tough but fair legalization program for individuals who are currently here. We will ensure that this is a successful permanent reform to our immigration system that will not need to be revisited.

Four Basic Legislative Pillars:
o
Create a tough but fair path to citizenship for unauthorized immigrants currently living in the United States that is contingent upon securing our borders and
tracking whether legal immigrants have left the country when required;

o

Reform our legal immigration system to better recognize the importance of characteristics that will help build the American economy and strengthen
American families;

o

Create an effective employment verification system that will prevent identity theft and end the hiring of future unauthorized workers; and,

o

Establish an improved process for admitting future workers to serve our nation’s workforce needs, while simultaneously protecting all workers.

Creating a Path to Citizenship for Unauthorized Immigrants Already Here
that is Contingent Upon Securing the Border and Combating Visa Overstays

Our legislation will provide a tough, fair, and practical roadmap to address the status of unauthorized immigrants in the United States that is contingent upon our success in securing our borders and addressing visa overstays.

To fulfill the basic governmental function of securing our borders, we will continue the increased efforts of the Border Patrol by providing them with the latest technology, infrastructure, and personnel needed to prevent, detect, and apprehend every unauthorized entrant.

Additionally, our legislation will increase the number of unmanned aerial vehicles and surveillance equipment, improve radio interoperability and increase the number of agents at and between ports of entry. The purpose is to substantially lower the number of successful illegal border crossings while continuing to facilitate commerce.

We will strengthen prohibitions against racial profiling and inappropriate use of force, enhance the training of border patrol agents, increase oversight, and create a mechanism to ensure a meaningful opportunity for border communities to share input, including critiques.

Our legislation will require the completion of an entry-exit system that tracks whether all persons entering the United States on temporary visas via airports and seaports have left the country as required by law.

We recognize that Americans living along the Southwest border are key to recognizing and understanding when the border is truly secure. Our legislation will create a commission comprised of governors, attorneys general, and community leaders living along the Southwest border to monitor the progress of securing our border and to make a recommendation regarding when the bill’s security measures outlined in the legislation are completed.

While these security measures are being put into place, we will simultaneously require those who came or remained in the United States without our permission to register with the government. This will include passing a background check and settling their debt to society by paying a fine and back taxes, in order to earn probationary legal status, which will allow them to live and work legally in the United States. Individuals with a serious criminal background or others who pose a threat to our national security will be ineligible for legal status and subject to deportation. Illegal immigrants who have committed serious crimes face immediate deportation.

We will demonstrate our commitment to securing our borders and combating visa overstays by requiring our proposed enforcement measures be complete before any immigrant on probationary status can earn a green card

Current restrictions preventing non-immigrants from accessing federal public benefits will also apply to lawful probationary immigrants.

Once the enforcement measures have been completed, individuals with probationary legal status will be required to go to the back of the line of prospective immigrants, pass an additional background check, pay taxes, learn English and civics, demonstrate a history of work in the United States, and current employment, among other requirements, in order to earn the opportunity to apply for lawful permanent residency. Those individuals who successfully complete these requirements can eventually earn a green card.

Individuals who are present without lawful status – not including people within the two categories identified below – will only receive a green card after every individual who is already waiting in line for a green card, at the time this legislation is enacted, has received their green card. Our purpose is to ensure that no one who has violated America’s immigration laws will receive preferential treatment as they relate to those individuals who have complied with the law.

Barbara Fari, a Jamaican grandmother who fraudulently tried to claim 740,000 pounds after tripping on a street in London is now facing charges for contempt of court. Mrs. Fari, 59, sued Haringey Council in North London after the incident in May 2008. She claimed the injury to her right knee was so severe she could only move around her home by sliding on her buttocks. But video evidence contradicted her case and her claim was struck out at a county court last year after a judge found the mother of 13 had grossly exaggerated her injury. Now, a High Court judge has agreed that Homes for Haringey, which runs Haringey Council Housing Stock and maintains the pavement outside her home, can prosecute Mrs. Fari for contempt of court. Her husband, Piper Fari, who gave evidence to back her false claim, will also be prosecuted. They both face a jail sentence if convicted. A statement released by Homes for Haringey’s legal team revealed one of their lawyers had won permission from a judge to pursue contempt proceedings against the couple. It said Mrs. Fari’s case was the first of its kind since a landmark ruling in June last year made it possible to take action over alleged fraudulent exaggeration in personal injury cases. The application will proceed to a final hearing later in the year.
