There are an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S., roughly seven million of whom have no health insurance
Border counties are often involved in the apprehension and detention
Immigration reform would increase demand for adult education, at a time when states have reduced funding for such programs

President Obama has publicly stated that he wants an immigration reform bill on his desk by the August recess With large populations of undocumented immigrants, as well as foreign-born voters who consider immigration reform a major priority, there is growing pressure on Congressional leadership to enact reform this year The Senate Judiciary Committee has introduced and marked up its version of a comprehensive reform bill (S. 744), and the measure will be considered on the Senate floor in the coming weeks (Mid-June, 2013) The House has yet to introduce a comprehensive bill, but key Members of a bipartisan group have reportedly reached tentative agreement on reform principles If and when both chambers pass reform legislation, a Senate and House conference will be held, but it is unlikely that this will occur before the August recess

President’s Proposal

border, including unmanned aircraft, upgrades to helicopter fleets and mobile communications systems
determine whether persons entering on temporary visas have left the country as required

Pathway to Citizenship for Undocumented Immigrants
NACo Policy
President’s Proposal
to citizenship for undocumented immigrants that includes registration requirements, English and civic competency, payment of
and criminal background checks
counties and states will be affected by the fact that S. 744 would consider individuals on its path to citizenship to be “lawfully present”
undocumented immigrants who were physically present in the U.S. on or before December 31, 2011, and are not disqualified due to criminal backgrounds or other categories of inadmissibility
to come forward, register, and pay outstanding taxes and fees
(RPI) status to undocumented immigrants, followed by Legal Permanent Resident (LPR) status, and finally citizenship; reaching citizenship would take 13-15 years for most undocumented immigrants
citizenship would be considered “lawfully present” for purposes other than those related to the Affordable Care Act
status for undocumented immigrants, ultimately leading to LPR status and citizenship
WWW.NACO.ORG | JUNE 2013 37

Security to certify that border security measures required under the bill have begun, as a “trigger” to RPI status adjustments

threat to national security would not be eligible for RPI status
application fees
renewable as long as the individual has not become ineligible during that time; there is a $500 fee for initial application, and another $500 fee for renewal
wishing to adjust to provisional status would be required to come forward, register, pass background checks, and pay fees and penalties

NACo Policy
President’s Proposal
provide expedited paths to citizenship for individuals who were brought to the U.S. as minors, and for agricultural workers
as children (commonly referred to as DREAMers), and those who have been working in the agricultural industry without authorization, would have an expedited path to Legal Permanent Residency and citizenship
after five years in RPI status, and to apply for citizenship immediately after receiving LPR status; DREAMers are also exempt from the $1,000 fee for adjustment from RPI to LPR status
days during the two year period prior to December 31, 2012 would be eligible to apply, along with their dependents, for a “blue card,” which would in turn allow them to apply for LPR status after five years as “blue card” holders

currently awards 50,000 immigrant visas per year to individuals from underrepresented countries
minor children of LPRs would be eliminated
citizens and for married children of U.S. citizens who are 30 or older would be eliminated, but such siblings and married children would receive a point boost in the Merit Based Visa system
beneficiaries of family visa petitions to live and work in the U.S. while waiting for their immigrant visas to be approved
increase annual visa numbers, and would recapture unused visas to eliminate visa backlogs
