Voted for an amendment to reduce the time period of a country's "temporary protected status."
Rep. ZZlastnameZZ voted in favor of the Forbes amendment to HR 2638, which would prohibit funds pursuant to this bill from being used to extend the "temporary protected status" designation of a country. This amendment failed 123-298.
The bill would extend the E-Verify federal employment verification program for 5 months (until March 6, 2009) and includes Homeland Security funding at FY08 levels. Particularly, the funding includes $5,400,000 for the 287(g) program to train local and state law enforcement on federal immigration procedures and $775,000,000 for border fencing and technology, with $400,000,000 still held hostage until the two Appropriations Committees approve a fencing plan.
