Amnesty Still Alive, Elements of Failed Bill Being Inserted into Other Legislation

Backers of that plan that gives amnesty to millions of illegal aliens are trying a new tactic. They're splitting the hundreds of pages of provisions in the failed master plan and attaching them to other pieces of legislation. Senator Dick Durbin tried to introduce The DREAM Act into the Defense Authorization Bill, which would give amnesty to illegal aliens if they came to the United States under the age of 16 and graduated from high school here. If they enroll in college or the military, they could eventually become U.S. citizens. Opponents dismiss The DREAM Act as of another form of amnesty that's open to rampant fraud. Illegal aliens could easily claim they were in the United States before the age of 16. The DREAM Act also has been criticized because it lifts a ban on granting in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens, a privilege denied to out-of-state U.S. citizens. Kris Kobach of the Immigration Reform Law Institute said: "At a time when college tuition rates are going through the roof, when the majority of students graduate with a very significant amount of debt, we have to realize that we're in a world of limited resources. So it seems wrong-headed to give those resources to people illegally in our country when U.S. citizens should be the first in line to receive subsidized tuition."
[Our take: Durbin failed to get the DREAM Act inserted into the Defense Authorization Bill, but other attempts to get elements of 'comprehensive immigration reform' into other legislation are still alive. For example, proposed AgJobs legislation would provide an amnesty for illegal aliens engaged in agricultural work and their spouses and children - potentially 3 million people - and would provide few safeguards against fraud in the application process. It also relaxes the standards for H-2A agricultural guest worker visas.]

Visa Fraud Still Rampant Six Years After 9-11

There is massive fraud involving the sale of American visas and it presents a critical threat to our national security. Once people use those visas to enter this country, our government has no way tracking them or knowing whether they will leave or when they leave. About 5.8 million people on 70 different visa programs were given access to the United States last year. Once they arrived, we have no idea where they went. We don't know who or how many have remained after their visas expired. That same lack of oversight has led to Indian companies being the biggest users and abusers of visa programs like the H1-B. Six years after 9-11, there is still the same problem with fraud. The student visa program is unlimited, with the visas issued year around, which represents an especially profound problem. Religious visas appear to be the ones most vulnerable to fraud. Fully one-third of the people applying for visa applications for religious reasons were found to be applying on a fraudulent basis.
