In early July, both the Senate and House of Representatives passed DHS appropriations bills with a few immigration related provisions. The House version reauthorized E-Verify for a period of two years. The Senate bill made both E-verify and the EB-5 pilot programs permanent, extended the Conrad-30 waiver program and non-ministerial religious worker immigrant visa programs for an additional three years, and authorized 700 miles of reinforced fencing. The bill also seeks to allow employers to use e-verify on current employees, and not just on new hires. Finally, the bill would seek to reverse the decision of the administration to withdraw the SSA no-match discussed above. The bill will proceed to conference to resolve differences in the bill and to determine which provisions will make it into a consolidated bill that will be presented to the President for signature.
