No such bill has passed. There is no legislation with that number. The link to the “federal register” is a phony one. All government website links end with .gov. The one below is a .com link (an it has advertisements on it!). Here is a link to the real federal register. Also, a link to the Library of Congress Thomas website where you can look up all legislation, passed and proposed, and find its status. I suggest you bookmark them.

I think the seed of this is last year’s refugee act, which allows certain Iraqis to come here and be granted asylum. So far there have been about 3-4,000 allowed in, and apparently the number they are looking at is 20,000. Which I think is a simply horrible idea. Some of them are in fear for their lives for having helped us, such as interpreters, but I am sure the vast majority have not done anything that would earn them a free pass into our country, and no doubt some would be coming with bad intentions. We have more than enough Muslims as it is.

Actually a LOT of Iraqis have helped US forces and put themselves at real risk of REAL torture and death. They deserve a “free pass” - or even a paid-by-us pass - into the US. If I had any faith that only those Iraqis were being let in under this federal action, I’d support it 100%. Unfortunately, like you, I doubt it...
