That is correct. But there is also legislation that is presently hung up in Congress on the temporary/seasonal worker covered by the H2B visa quota. Most likely these Russian kids that PYA is talking about are here on that temp visa.
The quota on the H2B was temporarily raised in 2005 and has been renewed each year since, until this year.
Like SAVE, it is stuck in committee and a discharge petition has been created but doesn't have enough signatures. It is being blocked by a coalition of two groups.The first group are democrats who are retaliating because there was no comprehensive reform passed and the second group are GOP immigration hardliners such as Tancredo who are opposed to guest workers.
Thanks Ben - that is good information. Delacon, you said that much better than I and with a lot more patience. ;^)
She was talking about apples; I was talking about kumquats.
