H.R. 32, the Defense of Legal Workers Act of 2015, would block funding for Pres. Obama's executive DAPA amnesty announced in Nov. 2014 and renewals for his 2012 DACA amnesty. This amnesty would result in work permits for approximately 7.1 million illegal aliens who are parents of U.S. citizens or meet other requirements.
H.R. 38, the Preventing Executive Overreach on Immigration Act of 2015, would block funding for Pres. Obama's executive DAPA amnesty announced in Nov. 2014. This amnesty would result in work permits for approximately 5 million illegal aliens who are parents of U.S. citizens. The legislation, however, would prevent an exemption, allowing some illegal aliens to receive amnesty.
H.R. 43, the Border Security, Cooperation, and Act Now Drug War Prevention Act of 2015, would allow for emergency deployments of U.S. Border Patrol agents, DEA agents, and ATF agents in states that declare an "international border security emergency." Improvements to border security are also proposed, including new equipment, technology, and vehicles for agents, in order to prevent various forms of crime including crossing into the United States at any location other than an authorized port of entry.
H.R.52, the Save America Comprehensive Immigration Act of 2015, would grant amnesty to 11 million illegal alien living in the United States. The legislation would also double the caps in chain migration categories, double the visa lottery, grant amnesty to foreign citizens who currently have Temporary Protected Status, and repeal any bans on funding for sanctuary cities. The legislation does include some improvements to border security.
H.R.155, the Defund Amnesty Act of 2015, would block funding for Pres. Obama's executive DAPA amnesty announced in Nov. 2014. This amnesty would result in work permits for approximately 5 million illegal aliens who are parents of U.S. citizens.
