01/15/2014: National Policy for American Policy Releases on 01/14/2014 Report on Ongoing House Republican Options for Legalization of Undocumented Immigrants

• As we reported earlier, the House Republicans are scheduled to release their "Principles" of immigration reform just in time for the President's appearance in the Congress on 01/28/2014 for the State of Union speeach. The just released NPAP report gives an opportunity to peak through the likely principles of the House Republicans.
• The House legalization is likely to adopt a two-stage approach to legalization:
  • Step 1: Qualified unauthorized immigrants would be legalized with a permit to stay, work, and travel outside the country.
  • Step 2: Legalized unauthorized immigrants must seek permanent residence (green cards) sponsorship on their own, probably except DACA Dreamers, through the current immigration system based on a family or employment category. This step removes current hurdle of three-year bar or 10-year bar or other obstacles that prevent undocumented immigrants to apply for permanent resident status within the United States. Potentially, they may require to seek this permanent residence sponsorship within six (6) years of being legalized to seek permanent resident status followed by eventual citizenship application under the current law.
• House approach could permit an estimated 4.4 million to 6.5 million unauthorized immigrants to gain lawful permanent residence, as opposed to 8 million under the Senate bill S. 744. The 4.4 million to 6.5 million estimate of the potential House approach includes green card sponsorship under the following categories:
  • DREAMers brought here as children in unlawful status: 800,000-1,500,000 (special permanent residence provision)
  • Parents of U.S.-born children: 3,100,000 to 4,400,000
  • Spouses of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents: 420,000 to 600,000
  • EB-EW Other Workers employment based petition: 40,000 to 45,000 (During over 20 years).
• Foregoing numbers do not include potentially 2 to 5 million people who, if they came forward and did not have disqualifying criminal convictions, could be allowed to stay in the United States in lawful status, theoretically for the rest of their lives, but without obtaining a green card because they did not fit into a legal immigration category. Eventually, they will remain second class with no option for permanent residence and citizenship, albeit with permit to stay, work, and travel.
• According to the report, the vast majority of unauthorized immigrants have been in the country approximately a decade or more, according to the Department of Homeland Security (9.9 million out of 11.5 million arrived in 2004 or earlier). As a result, millions have children born in the United States who are U.S. citizens (based on their birth in the United States). Given the natural human desire to be with one’s family, the existence of so many children of unauthorized immigrants in the United States means it is unlikely such immigrants would leave the country voluntarily or remain out of the country even if deported. Once provided legal status, the most likely category into which unauthorized immigrants would be sponsored for permanent residence is the parents of U.S. citizens. The parents, spouses and children (below age 21) of U.S. citizens are considered “immediate relatives.” An advantage of unauthorized immigrants being sponsored through the immediate relatives category is Congress would not need to increase the quota to accommodate such individuals, since there is no annual limit on the number of immediate relatives of U.S. citizens. An estimated 4.4 million unauthorized adult immigrants had U.S.-born children (under 18) in March 2011, according to the Pew Research Center. That means there are approximately 4.4 million unauthorized immigrants with U.S. citizen children who, at age 21, could sponsor them as the immediate relatives (parents) of U.S. citizens. This analysis estimates that between 420,000 and 600,000 unauthorized immigrants could gain permanent residence through a lawfully present spouse who is either a U.S. citizen (who can sponsor them as an immediate relative) or a lawful permanent resident (who can sponsor them in a family preference category). As for employer sponsorship option, there is a key shortcoming that under current immigrant law only 5,000 individuals, including their dependents, can be sponsored each year in the “Other Workers”category. For that reason, it is likely only about 40,000 to 45,000 workers who are unauthorized immigrants could expect to gain green cards via the Other Workers category over a 20-year period. Unauthorized immigrant family members of the workers are included in the 5,000 per year quota. If Congress were to increase that 5,000 limit, including by no longer counting the dependents of employer-sponsored immigrants against the annual limit, it would be a positive reform for employers wishing to retain valued employees and provide a realistic path to a green card for both the newly legalized and those who enter the country legally through temporary work visas. Increasing the 5,000 limit in the Others Worker category to 30,000 and not counting dependents would potentially permit up to an additional 500,000 individuals, once granted legal status, to gain green cards under the Other Workers category. House members have not discussed a separate legalization/green card process for agricultural workers unlike the Senate bill S. 744.
• House is likely to present their "principles" to seek feed backs before they introduce their immigration reform bills in the House down the road.
