Sabi ng mga eksperto/worker's visa 4

Dear Mouse, Masyadomg matrapik ngayon sa internet. Ang aking ipinost ng Biyernes ay lumabas lang ngayong Linggo. Saan kaya tumambay iyon? Marami akong dapat isulat pero binibigyan ko ng espasyo ang tungkol sa panukala ni Bush sa kapakanan ng mga kawawang Pilipino na bibiktimahin na naman ng mga abugado na ang espesyalisayson ay pag-ayos ng mga papeles kapalit ng libo-libong dolyar na kanilang hinihingi. Marami sa mga may problema ng papeles ngayon ay sa dahilang pinaniwala sila ng mga abogadong ito na sila ay magigiging legal dahil sa mga batas na sila lamang ang nakakaunawa at mga karaniwang mamamayan ay walang kaalaman. Sa aking pagtalakay (naks!!) ay babanggitin ko ang mga opinion ng mga eksperto kasabay ang pangungulit kong ano NGA BA mga pare ang ibig ninyong sabihin. Hindi ninyo ako maasahang magbanggit ng mga balitang isinulat ng mga reporter na para lang makakuha ng atensiyon ay parang nagging manok na ang itlog at ang batang nasa loob ng sinapupunan ay nailabas na at naglalakad na. Ayon kay Atty. Robert Reeves,ito ay kaiba sa amnesty law atsa H1 visa na naibibigay lang sa mga propesyonal. BUSH PUSHES FOR SWEEPING IMMIGRATION REFORM Attorney Robert Reeves 2004-01-11 18:25:00(LA) / 2004-01-12 10:25:00(Manila) President Bush proposed on Wednesday changes to the U.S. Immigration law that will have a dramatic affect on foreigners not only in the U.S. but throughout the world. The President recognized that the U.S. is a nation built by immigrants and that today’s U.S. immigration laws are too harsh and cumbersome. He proposed a change in the law that will be more compassionate to foreign workers and serve the economic needs of the U.S. Bush’s proposal will create a category to allow willing foreign workers to come to the U.S. to fill the jobs American workers are not filling. U.S immigration law today only allows for workers who are meeting a seasonal need or in specialty occupations (engineers, accountants, physical therapists, etc.) to come to the U.S. to work temporarily. The new law would allow thousands of new occupations to be sponsored. These would include bookkeepers, caregivers, domestic help, gardeners, cooks, secretaries, carpenters, and sales staff to name a few. This is a spectacular improvement from the current immigration situation. Ang mga abugado ng artista sa Pinas ay may artikulo tungkol dito. Basahin: BUSH “LIMITED AMNESTY” PLAN OFFERS HOPE FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FOR THE NEW YEAR by Michael J. Gurfinkel, Esq. 2004-01-10 04:50:00(LA) / 2004-01-10 20:50:00(Manila) Illegal immigrants can look forward to a better year, with a proposed immigration reform program being drawn up by the Bush Administration. The Bush plan is considered to be the most important immigration change in 18 years. While ruling out a “blanket amnesty,” Bush said he would soon send recommendations to Congress for an “immigration policy that helps match any willing employer with any willing employee.” James G. Beirne as isinulat ang Q and A na inilabas ng Washington para maunwaan kung anong klaseng hayop ang pinag-uusapan. Bush unveils new Immigration Reform Program ON Wednesday, President George W. Bush unveiled a plan that would let millions of undocumented immigrants with jobs stay and work in the country legally for up to six years. The plan, which recognizes the fact that immigration is in America’s self-interest and "one of the primary reasons [why] America became a great power in the 20th century," will create a "new temporary worker program to match willing foreign workers with willing US employers when no Americans can be found to fill the jobs Since its announcement, our office has been receiving calls regarding the issue. Immigration reform is important, and the Law Offices of James Beirne welcomes this new development and will continue to track it for you since the immigration reform debate is still ongoing. We are publishing part of the Fact Sheet released by the White House. Questions and Answers on Fair and Secure Immigration Reform Q: Is this amnesty? No, amnesty rewards the undocumented population with an automatic path to citizenship worked in the U.S., and supports the creation of tax-preferred savings accounts they can collect when they return to their native countries. Q: Will immigrants who participate in this program be eligible for citizenship? The President’s proposal would not put temporary workers on the path to a green card, which permits holders to apply for citizenship after 5 years. However, it would not preclude a participant from obtaining green card status through the existing process as long as they are not given an unfair advantage over people who have followed legal procedures from the start. Men and women working in America on a temporary basis will have to get in line behind those who are already waiting. Q: If unemployment rises, will this program be suspended? One of the goals of the temporary worker program is to fill jobs in the U.S. that are not being filled by American workers. Employers would have to make every reasonable effort to first fill any job with an American before offering one to a foreign worker, including during an economic downturn. Q: Would this proposal create a new enforcement burden? It is in the interest of the Nation, and each community, to identify foreign visitors and immigrants and make clear the nature of their intentions. All participants would be issued a temporary worker card that will allow them to travel back and forth between their home and the U.S. without fear of being denied re-entry into the country. Q: Will the family members of aliens participating in the temporary worker program be able to live in the U.S. with the principal worker? Yes. The concept of family unity is consistent with other temporary visa categories already in existence. The principal worker is required to prove that he or she can support family members during their stay in the U.S. Family members will not be authorized to work unless they join the program themselves. Q: If this program does not allow the worker to remain permanently in the United States, what incentive would an undocumented worker have to come forward? The worker will be able to live and work legally and openly, which brings improved working conditions, the ability to travel to the home country, and the opportunity to negotiate salary and benefits, receive training, and to move to another employer participating in the program.
