  • Immigration Legislation and Issues in the 112Th Congress
    Immigration Legislation and Issues in the 112th Congress Andorra Bruno, Coordinator Specialist in Immigration Policy September 11, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R42036 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Immigration Legislation and Issues in the 112th Congress Summary Despite President Obama’s calls for a national conversation on immigration reform, immigration has not been a front-burner issue for the 112th Congress. The 112th Congress has, however, taken legislative action on some measures containing provisions on a range of immigration-related topics. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012 (P.L. 112-74) contains provisions on border security, visa security, tourist visas, and refugees. It also includes limited language on other issues, such as employment eligibility verification and the H-2B temporary worker visa. P.L. 112- 58 concerns military service-based immigration benefits; P.L. 112-127 concerns border tunnels. P.L. 112-130 makes Israeli nationals eligible for E-2 treaty investor visas. Both the House and the Senate have passed different bills (H.R. 4970, S. 1925) to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). The House has passed, and the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee has reported, legislation (H.R. 915) that would provide statutory authority for the Border Enforcement Security Task Force (BEST) initiative. In addition, the House has passed bills that would make changes to permanent employment-based and family- based admissions (H.R. 3012) and to reauthorize a temporary worker category for foreign nurses (H.R. 1933).
