The amendment would require Homeland Security to h (2nd Nov 17 at 6:18am UTC)
The amendment would require Homeland Security to hire an additional 20,000 border agents, virtually doubling the number now patrolling the border."All of those conditions have to be met before you go from [initial legal status] status to a green card" Hoeven said., but the security measures it required were later ignored.Under this scenario, the critics contend, there is no guarantee that the security measures will ever be implemented, in effect repeating what happened in 1986, the last time lawmakers passed immigration reforms."We're also adding a few other elements that bring on other folks that had concern about the legislation," Corker added., signed on to the Corker-Hoeven amendment Extruder Barrel soon after the deal was consummated; and Sen.-Mexico border, implement an e-verify system to prevent employers from hiring illegal immigrants and add electronic entry-exist systems in all airports and seaports., and John Hoeven, R-N. "
I was part of those promises — and we screwed up.H. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. Grassley served in Congress at that time and supported the legislation.S."Based on the conversations we've had with many of our colleagues, that if this amendment can pass I think it will add tremendous momentum to the bill," the senator told reporters. That year, Congress and President Ronald Reagan approved legislation that legalized immigrants already living illegally in the U. Bob Corker, R-Tenn. And, it appears that, whatever the Corker-Hoeven amendment might mean for border security, the bipartisan proposal was poised to generate a mini-surge of Republican support for the underlying bill., on Thursday announced that they had reached a deal with the Gang of Eight to strengthen the border security provisions in their comprehensive immigration reform package."david drucker Senior Congressional Correspondent.D. Kelly Ayotte, R-N., and Dean Heller, R-Nev.S.Sens.Supporters of the Senate's border security compromise are calling Film Blowing Machine Screw it the "border surge" amendment. would still be eligible for immediate legalization., gave Corker-Hoeven his seal of approval, essentially saying the amendment provides the changes he needed Barrel Screw Accessories to preserve his support for a comprehensive reform package he helped draft.Under the amendment, illegal immigrants already in the U.S. Perhaps most important, Sen.

Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, indicated that he was pleased with the policy direction of the proposal.Corker predicted that the amendment he authored with Hoeven could attract as many as 15 Republicans, including the four in the Gang of Eight, to support the Senate immigration reform bill.But a persistent band of Gang of Eight critics wasn't moved.Corker and Hoeven discussed the amendment, which they said is "about securing the border first," during a Capitol Hill news conference.
