A BILL

To effect a moratorium on immigration.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the `Mass Immigration Reduction Act of 2001'.

SEC. 2. IMMIGRATION MORATORIUM DEFINED.

As used in this Act, the term `immigration moratorium' means the period beginning on October 1, 2002, and ending on September 30 of the first fiscal year after fiscal year 2007 during which the President submits a report to Congress, which is approved by a joint resolution of Congress, that the flow of illegal immigration has been reduced to less than 10,000 aliens per year and that any increase in legal immigration resulting from termination of the immigration moratorium would have no adverse impact on the wages and working conditions of United States citizens, the achievement or maintenance of Federal environmental quality standards, or the capacity of public schools, public hospitals, and other public facilities to serve the resident population in those localities where immigrants are likely to settle.

SEC. 3. WORLDWIDE LEVELS OF IMMIGRATION.

Notwithstanding section 201 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, during the immigration moratorium under section 2 in lieu of the worldwide levels of immigration under section 201 of such Act--

(1) the worldwide level of family-sponsored immigrants under section 201(c) of such Act is zero;

(2) the worldwide level of employment-based immigrants under section 201(d) of such Act is 5,000; and

(3) the worldwide level of diversity immigrants under section 201(e) of such Act is zero.

SEC. 4. ALLOTMENT OF VISAS.

(a) IN GENERAL- Notwithstanding section 203 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, during the immigration moratorium under section 2, in lieu of the number of visas that may be allotted under section 203 of such Act--

(1) the number of visas that shall be allotted to family-sponsored immigrants under section 203(a) of such Act shall be zero;

(2) the number of visas that shall be allotted in any fiscal year to priority workers under section 203(b)(1) of such Act shall not exceed the worldwide level of employment-based immigrants for that fiscal year, and the number of visas that shall be allotted to other aliens subject to the worldwide level for employment-based immigrants shall be zero; and

(3) the number of visas that shall be allotted to diversity immigrants under section 203(c) of such Act shall be zero.

(b) LIMITATION ON SPONSORSHIP BY CERTAIN ALIENS- Notwithstanding any other provision of law, during the immigration moratorium, no visa may be allotted to any immigrant on the basis of a petition by an individual who has filed an application under section 210 or 245A of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

SEC. 5. GRANTING IMMIGRANT STATUS.

During the immigration moratorium under section 2, the Attorney General may not approve any petition for classification under section 204 of the Immigration and Nationality Act except for classification by reason of a family relationship described in section 201(b)(2) of such Act or priority worker status under section 203(b)(1) of such Act. Petitions that may not be approved during the moratorium shall be returned to the persons who filed the petitions.

SEC. 6. ANNUAL ADMISSION OF REFUGEES.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, during the immigration moratorium under section 2 the number of refugees who may be admitted under section 207 of such Act, including the number of admissions made available to adjust to the status of permanent residence the status of aliens granted asylum under section 209(b) of such Act, shall not exceed 25,000 in any fiscal year.

SEC. 7. IMMEDIATE RELATIVES DEFINED.

During the immigration moratorium, the term `immediate relatives' for purposes of section 201(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act means the children and spouse of a citizen of the United States.

SEC. 8. RENUNCIATION OF OTHER CITIZENSHIP FOR NATURALIZATION.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, during the immigration moratorium under section 2, in addition to other applicable requirements under the Immigration and Nationality Act an alien may only be naturalized as a citizen of the United States if the alien renounces any nationality or citizenship of any other country.

YES ITS A REAL BILL GO TO THOMAS AND CHECK IT OUT CLICK HERE

[captain11]

Lock the doors, and clean out the house!

You've got that right. Looks like there's some progress. This part is really rare:

Al-Draibi passed two FBI polygraph examinations in which he denied any links to terrorists and denied knowing anything about the Sept. 11 attacks, said Hutcheson. Police pulled him over for driving on a bare wheel rim 13 miles south of Dulles, where American Airlines Flight 77 that crashed into the Pentagon had taken off from earlier in the day. Flight manuals were found in al-Draibi's car, and he carried driver's licenses from eight states. Hutcheson said the plea will be to a charge of making a false statement on a visa application. Al-Draibi has been in custody since Sept. 11.

Evidently from the Three Stooges cell of Al-Queda.

[Billy_bob_bob]

"Evidently from the Three Stooges cell of Al-Queda."

Now THAT gets the old imagination going.

The scene: The Three Stooges cell of the Al-Queda is having lunch among the sand dunes.
Larry: "Hey, Moe, where'd we put the Anthrax?"
Moe: "I thought I told you to put it in the mailbox".
Curly: "Oh, I thought you said the LUNCH box." (They all gaze at their sandwiches)
"Nyahhhh! Whoo whoo whoo whoo woo woo woo!"

I don't know, sometimes my mind does funny things.

I'm sitting here looking at an invitation from Martin Frost, democrat, to attend a town meeting about America's Security, I plan to attend. I think I will act all gung ho Frost until I get a chance at the mike.

I hope all Freeper's will take the time to go to these town meetings and make their voices heard.

[SR71A]

What about all of the Silicon Valley firms that are used to hiring M.S.C.S. grads from India for $30k a year? Who are they going to exploit for their cheap labor?

Rep. Trancredo also introduced a H1-B specific bill, HR 3222. It calls for a roll back to 65,000 H1-Bs per fiscal year. Check it out at the Thomas web site. It's still not enough, of course. There should be ZERO H1-Bs, and the ones here now should be terminated in six months, and then DEPORTED.

What's Tom doing these days?

[Billy_bob_bob]

I have no idea what Tom has been up to lately. I hope that he is alright.

This will never be implemented even if it were to pass. Too many depend too much on immigration. Besides it would be insensitive. The way illegal Mexicans are pampered in Ca. it looks like we have already been reconquered by Mexico. Can't wait for when the Aztlan revolution starts.

Lemme ask you a question that no one on FR seems able to answer. How can they re-conquer California and the rest of the southwest? Will the whites (and especially the blacks) in kalifornia stand for it? What about the corporate interests in the state? What about the military bases, and other special places of "national security"?

I, like you think they are trying to take over, but the question is, can they?

"...give us your tired...huddled masses..."

[PRND21]

but the question is, can they?

No, nor do they want to "take over".

[captain11]

I, like you think they are trying to take over, but the question is, can they?

Huh? You're kidding, right? Miss the last decade?

Welcome to the Hotel Kalifornia.

[Captainpaintball]

Thank you, fellow captain! In two weeks I have a major presentation in my LATINA WRITING class...(imagine sitting through that) and I plan to use this article (and others) to set these young skulls full of mush straight!

Gimme more ammo, please!

[traditionalist]

Great bill, but now's not the right time to introduce it. Tancredo & Co. should wait until next summer, when we will be in the depths of a recession, the war will have been dragging on, and congressmen and Senators are all worried about re-election. That's when the anti-immigration message will really resonate with ordinary Americans.

[JoeMomma]

I have family and extended family in Europe. Would this legislation affect their ability to visit or immigrate here legally?
