Republican leaders clearly put forward in the general election, the party is ready to serious rectify the country's not normal immigration system, the most priority Hispanic community. With what is dry execution of work "in lame duck session can be seen as the first step in this direction.
In the STEM bill the house of representatives voted - stand for science, technology, engineering and mathematics - September, but in a program to two-thirds majority. It is defeated, more than 80% of Democrats voted against it, because it is offset by the increase in the high-tech graduate visa by eliminating other types of visa program, it is the low degree of foreigners, many come from Africa.
Republicans are changing the formula to join a provide long-term pursuit of the some immigrant advocates - expansion program that allows permanent residence, or green card spouses and minor children, in the United States waiting for their own green card approving them.
These families as the foundation of green card about 80000 every year dial out, but there are about 322000 husband, wife and children in this category of average waiting for people have to wait for two years and their families. In the past of waiting for up to six years.
The house of representatives proposal, let family came to the United States 1 years later, their green card application, but they will not work until they really get card. It is suitable for family green card holders after marriage get residence permit.

, R - VA, house majority leader Eric Campbell Joe spokesman megan whitmore. Dry "important supporters say the bill is" family friendly, help spouses and minor children, otherwise will long time with your family lost ".
The bill will this time according to the normal procedures, only need a majority vote, and through the leading republican house, it is almost certain. It remains to be seen whether will make the person produces enough to give its momentum, because it is responsible for to the democratic-controlled senate Democrats support.
This year to 55000 green card in the field of STEM the doctor and master's graduates. The application shows, the American high-tech company's support, will make it easier to train in the United States, their skills, work of American companies, not from the outside the United States competitors.
But still the diversity of the legislative council to eliminate visa lottery program provides a similar 55000 green card for a year, those from the state, including many Africa, with the traditional low price immigrants arrived in the United States that prompted the house of representatives of Hispanic party, congress black core group and congress party asia-pacific African American all stand up against in September.
The three core panel said, the republicans are trying to increase legal immigrants, they want to immigrants, they don't want to end.
