The House and Senate Begin a Week-Long Recess but a Substantial and Uncertain Immigration- and Refugee-Related Legislative Agenda
Awaits their Return in July, and Beyond
By Micheal E. Hill
Friday, June 29, 2012 -- 5:12 pm EDT
The House and Senate have begun their week-long Independence Day Recesses.
Upon their return to Washington on Monday, July 9, 2012, the House and Senate will remain in session through the close of business on Friday, August 3, 2012, at which time they will begin a five week-long August recess -- a recess that will include time away from Washington for the 2012 Republican and 2012 Democratic National Conventions.
The House is scheduled to return from its August recess on Monday, September 10, for what is expected to be 13 days of legislative session before breaking for a five-week long recess running up to the 2012 general election.
While the Senate's long-term schedule is still subject to change, it is scheduled to return from its August recess on Monday, September 10, as well. However, unlike the House, the Senate (for now) is scheduled upon its return in September to remain in legislative session right up to Election Day.
The relatively few number of legislative days that are left before the election and the increasingly political nature of everything that is occurring in Washington makes for a crowded, yet uncertain legislative schedule.
From an immigration and refugee perspective, there are four categories of measures that could see action on Capitol Hill between now and Election Day:
- First are items that Congress absolutely must act on in order to prevent a shutdown of vital executive branch functions. This category includes such items as funding for the Department of Homeland Security, Department of State, Department of Justice, and Department of Health and Human Services.
- Second are items that Congress may feel compelled to act on because of expiring (or expired) provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act. This category includes such expiring programs and authorities as the E-Verify System, the EB-5 Regional Centers Program, the Conrad 30 Visa Waiver Program, and the Special Immigrant Non-minister Religious Worker Visa Program.
- Third are items that Members or Senators feel compelled to act out of principal or political necessity. This category includes such authorities as those found in the expired and expiring provisions of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) and the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).
- Fourth are relatively easy items that don't require the exercise of much political capital. This category includes such matters as legislation to clamp down on fraud in the issuance of student visas.

Will the Subjects of Immigration or the Latino Vote Be Topics of Discussion on the Coming Weekend's Sunday Public Affairs Programs?
By Micheal E. Hill
Friday, June 29, 2012 -- 12:38 pm EDT
--Updated on Friday, June 29, 2012, at 5:51 pm EDT--
 |
The subjects of immigration and the Latino vote dominated the last two weekends' Sunday public affairs programs, with substantial discussions occurring during each of the five major network programs for two consecutive weekends. Given that the Supreme Court of the United States this week handed down its decision in the case of Arizona v. the United States, one might reasonably expect that the programs during the coming weekend also would be dominated by the subjects of immigration and the Latino vote. However, the past week's decision by the Supreme Court of the United States upholding the individual mandate of the Affordable Care Act and the past week's action on the House floor finding Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress could well crowd out any discussions about immigration.
The headliner legislative figures appearing on the programs on Sunday, July 1, include Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH), House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Senate Democratic Caucus Vice Chairman Charles Schumer (D-NY), and House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-MI).
In addition to the headliner legislative figures, the five programs will be packed with political operatives, governors, political pundits, journalists, and Supreme Court analysts.
Will any of the various guests discuss the subjects of immigration or the Latino vote during the July 1 Sunday public affairs programs?
We'll find out on Sunday!

Supreme Court Strikes Down Three Provisions of Arizona's SB 1070 Immigration Enforcement Law While Declining to Strike Down a Fourth, More Controvesial Provision of the Measure
By Micheal E. Hill
Monday, April 25, 2012 -- 1:17 pm EDT
--Updated on Sunday, July 1, 2012, at 11:38 pm EDT--
The Supreme Court of the United States declined to strike down one provision and struck down three other provisions of Arizona's controversial SB 1070 immigration enforcement law. The Court acted on Monday, June 25, 2012, on what will be the next-to-the-last day of its term.
The Court declined, for the moment, to strike down Section 2(B) of the law, which is derisively referred to by pro-immigrant advocates as the "Papers, Please" provision of the measure. However, it struck down three other sections of the law as unconstitutional: Sections 3, which sought to make it a crime under Arizona law for an alien to not carry their immigration documentation; Section 5(C), which would have made it a crime for an unauthorized alien to seek work in Arizona; and Section 6, which would have authorized state and local police officers to arrest aliens without a warrant if they had probable cause that they were removable.
The ruling on the three sections of SB 1070 that the Court invalidated came in a 5-3 decision that was authored by Associate Justice Kennedy. Joining in the majority opinion were Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justices Ginsburg, Breyer, and Sotomayor. Dissenting were Associate Justices Scalia, Thomas, and Alito. Associate Justice Kagan recused herself from the case.
The Court unanimously declined to strike down Section 2(B). However, five of the votes came from the majority opinion and three associate justices wrote concurring opinions that did not necessarily buy into the precise reasoning of the majority.
In declining to strike down Section 2(B), the Court invited further litigation on the section, stating that it could not strike it down without first seeing how it played out on the ground. More specifically, the Court held that "[i]t was improper to enjoin §2(B) before the state courts had an opportunity to construe it and without some showing that §2(B)’s enforcement in fact conflicts with federal immigration law and its objectives." It went on to warn Arizona about implementations of the law that it might find are unconstitutional, though, and it noted that "[t]his opinion does not foreclose other preemption and constitutional challenges to the law as interpreted and applied after it goes into effect."
In striking down Sections 3, 5(C), and 6, the Associate Justice Kennedy wrote, "Arizona may have understandable frustrations with the problems caused by illegal immigration ... but the state may not pursue policies that undermine federal law."

Congress Faces an Eclectic Pre-Independence Day Recess Immigration- and Refugee-Related Legislative Schedule as it Awaits a Supreme Court Decision on Arizona's S.B. 1070
By Micheal E. Hill
Monday, June 25, 2012 -- 7:00 am EDT
--Original Version Posted on Friday, June 22, 2012, at 6:00 am EDT--
After two weeks of unusually busy immigration- and refugee-related legislative activity, the House and Senate face an eclectic immigration-related legislative schedule during the week to come as they await what almost certainly will be a decision by the Supeme Court of the United States during the week to come in the case of Arizona v. United States, relating to the constitutionality of Arizona's S.B. 1070 immigration enforcement law.
A Supreme Court decision on the Arizona case is expected to come on either Monday, June 25th, or Wednesday or Thursday, June 26th or 27th. Whichever way the Court decides in the case of Arizona v. United States, the decision is likely to prompt a swift legislative response.
Apart from the impending action in the Supreme Court on S.B. 1070, actions occurring during the week-to-come include possible immigration-related amendments during House floor consideration of two appropriations bills; markups of a four immigration-related bills in such varied committees as the House Committee on Foriegn Affairs, Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, and Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
Following the close of business during the week-to-come, both the House and Senate will begin a week-long Independence Day recess.

The Subjects of Immigration and the Latino Vote Once Again Dominated the June 24th Network Sunday Public Affairs Programs
By Micheal E. Hill
Monday, June 25, 2012 -- 12:01 am EDT
 |
For the second weekend in a row, the subjects of immigration and the Latino vote dominated the Sunday public affairs programs. Indeed, once again, substantial discussions about the two subjects occurred during all five major network programs.
As the programs began, there was much anticipation that immigration would be a big topic. After all, the headliner immigration figures appearing on the programs on Sunday, June 24, included Representative Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), Chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Task Force on Immigration; former Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez, who served under President George W. Bush; Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) former Governor Bill Richardson (D-NM); Representative Xavier Becerra (D-CA), Vice Chair of the House Democratic Caucus; Governor Rick Perry (R-TX), who was a candidate for the 2012 Republican nonination before dropping out of the race earlier this year, and Antonio Villaraigosa (D), Mayor of Los Angeles, California and Chairman of the 2012 Democratic National Convention. They did not disappoint. Each of them spoke extensively about immigration and the Latino vote during their appearances.
In addition to the headliner immigration figures, the programs included a number of political operatives, political pundits, and journalists, many of whom also weighed in on the subject of immigration.

The House and Senate Face a Heavy Immigration- and Refugee-Related Legislative Agenda as they Await a Supreme Court Decision on Arizona's S.B. 1070 and Begin to Spar on the Obama Administration's Announced Prosecutorial Discretion for DREAM Act Children
By Micheal E. Hill
Monday, June 18, 2012 -- 8:30 am EDT
--Original Version Posted on Saturday, June 16, 2012, at 5:00 am EDT--
The House and Senate face an unusually busy immigration- and refugee-related legislative agenda during the week to come.
The House returns from a week-long recess this coming week, joining the Senate in the nation's Capitol, which stayed behind last week. Both chambers are scheduled to be in session for the next two weeks before taking another week off for their week-long Independence Day recess.
Even though the two chambers face a heavy immigration- and refugee-related legislative agenda during the coming week, the air in Washington is dominated by two issues that are non-legislative. The first is the impending decision by the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of Arizona v. United States, relating to the constitutionality of Arizona's S.B. 1070 immigration enforcement law. The second is the decision that was announced by President Obama on Friday, June 15, to grant prosecutorial discretion and work authorization to DREAM Act children.
A Supreme Court decision on the Arizona case is expected to come on either Monday, June 18th, or Monday, June 25th. Whichever way the Court decides in the case of Arizona v. United States, the decision is likely to prompt a swift legislative response. The legislative fallout from the Obama Administration's DREAM Act decision also is expected to be swift and furious, as Republicans who oppose the policy jockey for political position and mount what is almost certain to be an unsuccessful effort to undo it legislatively.
Apart from the impending action in the Supreme Court on S.B. 1070 and the Administration's DREAM Act-related prosecutorial discretion policy, the big immigration- and refugee-related actions occurring during the week-to-come include possible votes in the Senate on several immigration-related amendments to the Farm Bill, including amendments that could deny Food Stamp benefits to U.S. citizen children who live in mixed alienage households; full House consideration of a bill that would expand DHS authority on public lands; full House consideration of a bill that would express regret for the Chinese Exclusion Act; a markup in the Senate of a North Korea human rights bill; a number of hearings on a variety of border security matters; and a plethora of activities both on and off of the Hill commemorating World Refugee Day.
If all of the preceding action is not enough to capture the attention of the pro-immigration and immigration restrictionist advocacy communities, President Obama, former Governor Mitt Romney (R-MA), and Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) each are scheduled to make separate appearances in Florida on Thursday and Friday of the week-to-come before the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO), which will expect them to address the subject of immigration.
The week-to-come could be an interesting, if not bumpy, ride.

The Subjects of Immigration and the Latino Vote Dominated All Five of the June 17 Network Sunday Public Affairs Programs
By Micheal E. Hill
Sunday, June 17, 2012 -- 3:28 pm EDT
 |
Thanks to the Obama Administration's announcement last Friday that it will provide prosecutorial discretion and work authorization to DREAM Act children, there was lots of talk during the June 17, 2012, public affairs programs about immigration and the Latino vote, with extended discussions occurring on all five of the network Sunday public affairs programs.
Appearing on four of the five programs, Senior White House Advisor David Plouffe defended the President's DREAM Act prosecutorial discretion initiative and excoriated former Governor Mitt Romney's immigration policiies and record. Plouffe asserted on the programs that the decision was made by the Department of Homeland Security, not the President, and he declared that the policy was really a law enforcement decision that will enable the Department of Homeland Security to concentrate on deporting peope who are a danger to the United States.
Making his first non-Fox News appearance on a network Sunday public affairs program during the 2012 campaign, former Governor Romney ducked the question of whether he supported the Obama Administration's DREAM Act prosecutorial discretion initiative, refusing to answer a question that was posed four times about whether he would leave the Obama initiative in place if he was elected president. Instead, Governor Romney derided the Obama initiative as a stop-gam measure, criticized President Obama for not moving on immigration legislation during the first three-and-a-half years of his presidency, declared that he would work with Congress to enact legislation addressing the long-term needs of DREAM Act children, and indicated his support for border control and employment verification measures.
A plethora of legislators, journalists, and political pundits also spoke out about the Obama DREAM Act prosecutorial discretion initiative. Among the current and former legislators and governors commenting on the initative were Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham, former Governors Howard Dean and Tim Pawlenty, and former Senator Rick Santorum. Political pundits who weighed in on the iniative include former George W. Bush advisor Karl Rove and former Edward M. Kennedy and Howard Dean advisor Joe Trippi.

President Obama Speaks from White House Rose Garden on Decision to Provide Protection from Deportation and Work Authorization
for DREAM Act Children
By Micheal E. Hill
Friday, June 15, 2012 -- 2:58 pm EDT
President Obama today announced his decision to provide protection from removal and work authorization for undocumented aliens who are under the age of 30 and who were brought to the United States before they were 16 years-old. The President's remarks were made on the afternoon of Friday, June 15, 2012, from the White House Rose Garden. He did not take questions from reporters afterward.
In his brief remarks, the President said his actions will "mend our nation's immigration policy to make it more fair, more efficient, and more just." He said that the policy will help "young people who study in our schools, they play in our neighborhoods, they are friends with our kids, they pledge allegiance to our flag. They are Americans in their hearts, in their minds, in every single way but one; on paper."
As a technical matter, undocumented aliens receiving temporary relief pursuant to President Obama's decision will still be in the United States illegally. Those who demonstrate that they meet the criteria set by the President will be eligible to receive deferred action for a period of two years, subject to renewal, and will be eligible to apply for work authorization.
The Administration’s new policy will apply to those who meet the following criteria:
1. Came to the United States under the age of sixteen
2. Have lived in the United States continuously for at least the last five years
3. Are in school, have graduated from high school, obtained a GED or are serving in the military.
4. Have not been convicted of a felony or significant misdemeanor.
5. Are 30 years old or younger.
Only those individuals who can prove through verifiable documentation that they meet these criteria will be eligible for deferred action. Individuals will not be eligible if they are not currently in the United States and cannot prove that they have been physically present in the United States for a period of not less than five years immediately preceding today’s date. Deferred action requests will be decided on a case-by-case basis. DHS cannot provide any assurance that all such requests will be granted. The use of prosecutorial discretion confers no substantive right, immigration status, or pathway to citizenship. Only the Congress, acting through its legislative authority, can confer these rights.
While this guidance takes effect immediately, USCIS and ICE expect to begin implementation of the application processes within sixty days.
Reaction on Capitol Hill to the President's remarks fell along predictable lines, with Democrats praising the move and Republicans calling it a backdoor amnesty that violates the President's constitutional and stautory authority.

Possible Vote on Immigrant Food Stamp Amendment and Committee Consideration of the FY '13 Spending Bill that Funds Refugee Resettlement and Services to Unaccompanied Alien Children Highlight the Coming Week's Immigration and Refugee Agenda
By Micheal E. Hill
Monday, June 11, 2012 -- 9:20 am EDT
--Originally Posted on Friday, June 8, 2012, at 2:30 am EDT--
The House begins yet another week-long recess on Monday, June 11, leaving the Senate behind to toil alone in Washington.
The big immigration- and refugee-related action occurring during the week-to-come could be a Senate vote on an amendment to the Farm Bill that seeks to assure that undocumented aliens do not receive Food Stamp benefits. The effort could wind up also deying Food Stamp benefits to U.S. citizen children who live in mixed alienage households.
Also of significance to the immigration- and refugee-related community during the coming week is the consideration by the Senate Committee on Appropriations of the fiscal year 2013 bill that funds the operations of the Department of Health and Human Service's Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), which administers the federal government's refugee resettlement, trafficking victim assistance, torture victim assistance, and unaccompanied alien child programs and functions.
Also occurring during the week-to-come is a Senate Judiciary Committee oversight hearing on the operations of the Department of Justice, featuring Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr., which could get into immigration enforcement and adjudication issues.

House Approves a Number of Controversial Immigration Amendments as it Passes its Version of the FY '13 Homeland Security
Appropriations Act
By Micheal E. Hill
Friday, June 8, 2012 -- 2:00 am EDT
--Updated on Monday, June 11, 2012, at 5:40 pm EDT--
--Original Version Posted on Wednesday, June 6, 2012, at 1:30 pm EDT--
 The House of Representatives took up 20 immigration- or border security-related amendments as it considered and passed its version of the fiscal year 2013 bill that funds the operations of the Department of Homeland Security, agreeing to 13 of them. House action on the amendments occurred over the course of two days in connection with H.R. 5855, the House version of the Fiscal year 2013 Homeland Security Appropriations Act. The House began its consideration of the measure on Wednesday, June 6, 2012, and it completed action on the measure one day later, on Thursday, June 7. In the end, the House passed the bill by a vote of 234-182, with most Republicans voting in favor of it and most Democrats votings against it.
A number of the immigration- and border security-related amendments that the House agreed to are highly controversial, and pro-immigrant advocates are hoping they will be dropped in any conference with the Senate on the bill. These include an amendment offered by Representative Steve King (R-IA) that would prohibit the use of prosecutorial discretion for aliens in immigation proceedings; an amendment offered by Representative Sam Graves (R-MO) that would prohibit the use of funds in the bill to enforce a proposed rule providing for a provisional unlawful presence waiver to an alien who is an immediate family member of a United States citizen and who is unlawfully in the United States; an amendment offered by Representative Diane Black (R-TN) to bar the use of funds for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Public Advocate position; an amendment offered by Representative Lou Barletta (R-PA) that would bar funding under the bill for sanctuary cities; an amendment offered by Representative Chip Cravaack (R-MN) to bar the use of funds for alternatives to detention for aliens who have committed crimes specified in Section 236(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act; an amendment offered by Representative Steve King prohibiting the use of funds to enforce a Clinton-era Limited English Proficiency Executive Order; and an amendment offered by Representative John Sullivan (R-OK) that would bar the use of funds in the bill to terminate standing 287(g) agreements.
Of the 13 immigration- and border security-related amendments that the House agreed to, it agreed to eight by a voice vote and five by recorded votes. All but one of the amendments that were agreed to by a recorded vote were agreed to by near party-line votes.
Even before the House began considering amendments to H.R. 5855, the White House had expressed its opposition to it and threatened to veto it. The veto threat, reflected in a June 6, 2012, White House Statement of Administration Policy, listed a number of grounds on which the President's senior staff would recommend the President veto the measure, including at least nine immigration-related grounds.
A more detailed write-up analyzing the immigration- and border security-related House floor action on H.R. 5855, including links to the immigration- and border security-related amendments and to vote listings, can be found after the jump.

An Otherwise Sparse Schedule of Immigration and Refugee Legislative Activity Could be Punctuated by the Contentious House Floor Consideration of the FY '13 Homeland Security Appropriations Act
During the Week Ahead
By Micheal E. Hill
Monday, June 4, 2012 -- 10:00 am EDT
--Original Version Posted on Friday, June 1, 2012, at 11:55 pm EDT--
The Senate returns to Washington on Monday, June 4, from its Memorial Day recess, joining the House of Representatives, which next reconvenes in legislative session a day later. This means that when the two bodies convene on Tuesday, June 5, they will be in session at the same time for the first time in more than two weeks.
The number of days during which the two bodies will be in session simultaneously will be brief, however; the House is scheduled to begin yet another week-long recess upon the close of business on Friday, June 8, while the Senate plans to continue in session throughout the remainder of the month of June, not leaving town again until both bodies break on June 30 for a week-long July 4 recess.
Despite a large backlog of immigration- and refugee-related legislation that is ready for floor consideration in both the house and the Senate, the schedule of confirmed immigration or refugee legislative action during the week-to-come is sparse.
At the time of this writing, only one hearing that could tangentially touch on immigration matters is scheduled for the week-to-come in either the House or the Senate. No markups of legislation containing significant immigration- or refugee-related provisions were on the week-to-come's schedule in the House or Senate at the time of this writing. However, while there was no certainty, at the time of this writing, two measures containing significant immigration-related provisions and that could become the subject of intense and contentious immigration debates could be taken up on the House floor or the Senate floor during the week-to-come.
A more detailed write-up on the coming week's likely immigration- and refugee-related legislative agenda can be found after the jump.
