TITLE I – BORDER ENFORCEMENT
Certification Requirements Prior to Implementation of Earned Legalization of Undocumented Individuals and New Worker Program: Sets conditions that must be met before implementation of the new worker program and the program to legalize undocumented individuals. The Secretary of DHS must certify to Congress that improvements in border surveillance technology are being implemented; that the systems and infrastructure necessary to carry out improvements to immigration document security are ready to use; and that the first phase of the Electronic Employment Verification System requiring the participation of critical infrastructure employers has been implemented.
• Increased Border Enforcement Personnel: Increases border and other enforcement personnel, including port of entry inspectors (2500), immigration and customs enforcement investigators (1200), border patrol agents (11600), and Deputy United States Marshals (50). The bill also requires DHS to assign at least a 20% net increase in border patrol agents in each fiscal year between 2008-2012 to the Canadian border. Pokračování příspěvku….
