Preamble: Whereas the United States currently houses approximately 5.5 million illegal
immigrants from overseas, since the oversea illegals are increasing by 12% per year, and since
they come to the country through overstayed visas, whereas these illegal immigrants can
significantly help the economy, since we can make them more accessible for a low increase in
funding, since most illegal immigrants crossing from the southern border do so in order to obtain
work but are unable to because of inaccessible visas, and since students coming to our country to
learn can greatly improve our economy,
SECTION 1: New employment-based visa forms will be created for unskilled labor workers who
desire to work within the United States-Sub-SECTION A: There will be a new distinction between short-term visas and
long-term visas. Short-term visas will be any visa to stay for a period of time of 1
year and under.
Sub-SECTION B: New, short-term, unskilled labor work visas will be created.
The unskilled labor visa will be shorter, comprehensive, and able to be applied by
either employer or the employee, provided that future employment is ensured.
Sub-SECTION C: It will have less eligibility requirements and restrictions on the
type of person entering the country. The employer will be able to set the duration
of the visa and the workers stay in order to fit their and their companys need for
labor.
Sub-SECTION D: The short-term unskilled labor visa will have its cost adjusted
to the amount of time allotted by the visa in order to ensure that people of lower
economic status seeking such a visa will be able to obtain it.
SECTION 2: A greater amount of visas will be assigned to different countries so as to allow more
legal immigration-Sub-SECTION A: Visas will be allocated to different countries or regions
proportionally according to their population size and visa demand.
SECTION 3: A higher amount of students will be allowed to stay in the United States with
student visas in order to better contribute towards bettering the research, science, and economy of
the United States.
Sub-SECTION A: The amount of visas available for students from foreign
countries will be increased according to need by colleges or universities.
Sub-SECTION B: Students visas can be changed to skilled worker visas so long as
there is an application process.
SECTION 4: A system will be set in place that will require an immigrant with a working or shortterm visa to have visitation requirements, or check-ins, at a local Federal administration building
