Welcome from David B.
Gardner Attorney at Law, President of Law offices of David B Gardner Inc.
Immigration Reform and Illegal Immigration
have once again become headline news. Terms like "Comprehensive Immigration Reform;"Guest Worker
Program" and "Amnesty" have become daily features
of media articles and conversations with co- workers, friends and
family. While the United States is known as a nation of immigrants,
the questions of how much Immigration and what type of Immigration
have always been complex and controversial. Recent estimates show
that there are 11 (eleven) million illegal immigrants (sometimes
called illegal aliens) already in the United States. At the same
time, there are hundred of thousands of prospective Immigrants who
have followed the present legal procedures to obtain an immigrant
visa ( green card).These people have been waiting outside the United
States and may still continue to wait for many years before they
can become lawful permanent residents. It then generally takes another
five years after obtaining permanent residence before immigrants
can apply for United States Citizenship. There are probably millions
more who would want to pursue legal immigration options such as a
guest worker program if a new law is passed. Under present laws temporary
visas are limited to approximately 66,000 for the Temporary worker
category (H-2 visa).The H-1b visa category for professionals is also
limited to a similar number.
After the collapse of the a bi-partisan effort to pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform in 2007, Immigration Reform bills
are now being prepared and winding their ways through the corridors of power in Washington
DC. As soon as any new legislative proposal is passed it is likely that passionate arguments for and against the proposals for Immigration
Reform will once again surface. Immigration Reform is an issue which creates division both between and within the major political parties. Democrats and Republicans
alike face conflicting demands on immigration from their constituents and lobbyists who are concerned about increasing job losses and families who are torn apart by deportations and work force raids. Employers
continue to face serious and growing challenges to comply with workplace enforcement rules which impose penalties for hiring illegal workers.
