Dear Editor:
What universe is Congress legislating for? I've made a cursory reading of [Border Security and Immigration Reform Act of 2003] bill. It commands that the host country provide health care, (but the US does not have a health care system of its own). It states that
permanent residence can be gained through a sponsoring employer, but that
the beneficiary must be in their home country to receive permanent
residence - gutting the employer-employee relationship. I see vast profits
for notarios and consulting firms who will not be retrained by practicing
law outside the US to resolve the inevitable delays manufactured by a
non-cooperative Department of State. The bill also has time limits and
limited time periods, both fraught with a slamming door of opportunity and
the penalization of those who are waiting an unconscionable time for the
decision-makers like State, BCIS, or DOL. A new non-time limited 245(i),
without a stay time; a workable and timely unskilled H visa workers program,
and a NAFTA like categorization of the whole free trade zone with biometric
border-crossing cards would be much more sensible in terms of the real
world.
