ALERT! The House passed a law that ends Judicial review for delays in naturalization process I does concern all of us!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
H.R. 4437 would strip the courts of much of their remaining jurisdiction over immigration matters; gut the due process rights of aliens, permanent residents and United States citizens; expand expedited removal; broaden the definition of alien smuggling to include churches, employers, family members, and immigrant advocates; expand the definition of aggravated felony; create new grounds of deportability and inadmissibility; increase mandatory detention; militarize the border; and place limitations on eligibility for naturalization.
In addition, lawmakers approved a number of amendments during floor consideration of the measure, making the end product even more egregious than the initial base bill. Among these include:
# an amendment to eliminate the diversity visa lottery
# a manager's amendment that, among other things, eliminates judicial review of arbitrary denials of motions to reopen and makes misuse of passports or travel documents an aggravated felony even if committed by a refugee or a victim of domestic violence or trafficking
# an amendment giving state and local law enforcement officials the "inherent authority" to enforce civil immigration laws (the CLEAR Act revisited)
# an amendment withholding grant funds from state and local governments that maintain a policy of protecting the confidentiality of immigrants
# an amendment approving construction of more border fencing
# an amendment rendering a single DUI conviction a deportable offense
# an amendment vesting USCIS with law enforcement powers over certain investigations, and allowing the Office of Security and Investigations to engage in data-mining of DHS databases
# an amendment further increasing penalties for document fraud, crimes of violence and drug trafficking offenses
H.R. 4437 is a disappointing, disastrous measure for both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike, and AILA will be working closely with the Senate, once Congress reconvenes in January, to craft a reasoned and sensible approach to fixing our broken immigration system—an approach that offers an opportunity for success. H.R. 4437 offers no such opportunity.
In the meantime, use Contact Congress to send a letter to your Representative, either thanking him or her for voting against H.R. 4437, or expressing your disappointment for his or her vote in support of the measure. The vote tallies will be posted to Contact Congress soon.

Вообще сволочной документ, конечно. Есть некоторые разумные меры, но главная задача - лишить иммгрантов human rights. При этом продолжается и усгубляется созданный нынешней администрацией юридический нонсенс, когда закон возлагает ответственность за натурализацию на Attorney General (http://uscis.gov/lpBin/lpext.dll/inserts/slb/slb-1/slb-22/slb-1019?f=templates&fn=document-frame.htm), a Иммиграционная служба выведена из состава DoJ и более ему не подчиняется (а подчиняется DHS).

`(2) if any such database--

`(B) indicates that the individual is an alien but is not unlawfully present in the United States, the officer shall take the alien into custody for such offense in accordance with State law and shall promptly notify the Secretary of Homeland Security of such apprehension and maintain the alien in custody pending a determination by the Secretary with respect to any action to be taken by the Secretary against such alien.'.

Date: 2005-12-21 02:54 am (UTC)also:
by striking the second sentence and inserting the following: `The burden shall be upon the petitioner to show that the Secretary's denial of the application was not supported by facially legitimate and bona fide reasons. Except in a proceeding under section 340, notwithstanding any other provision of law (statutory or nonstatutory), including section 2241 of title 28, United States Code, or any other habeas corpus provision, and sections 1361 and 1651 of such title, no court shall have jurisdiction to determine, or to review a determination of the Secretary made at any time regarding, for purposes of an application for naturalization, whether an alien is a person of good moral character, whether an alien understands and is attached to the principles of the Constitution of the United States, or whether an alien is well disposed to the good order and happiness of the United States.
And NOW my favorite:
`(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Attorney General, and the courts may not--
`(1) grant or order the grant of adjustment of status of an alien to that of an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence,
`(2) grant or order the grant of any other status, relief, protection from removal, or other benefit under the immigration laws, or
`(3) issue any documentation evidencing or related to such grant by the Secretary, the Attorney General, or any court,
until an IBIS check on the alien has been initiated at a Treasury Enforcement Communications System (TECS) access level of no less than Level 3, results from the check have been returned, and any derogatory information has been obtained and assessed, and until any other such background and security checks have been completed as the Secretary may require.
Или я путаю и это к мандамусу это не имеет отношения?
Re: Отменяют, мне кажется
Date: 2005-12-21 04:16 am (UTC)"jurisdiction to review the basis for delay and remand the matter to the Secretary for the Secretary's determination on the application"
Есть вопрос насчет интерпретации слова remand, но в принципе это и есть мандамус - суд имеет право обязать государственное заведение принять решение в установленный судом срок, но не указывает, КАКОЕ решени едолжно быть вынесено. Другое дело, что кроме мандамуса, суд имел право собственным решение наттурализовать человека - в силу того, что натирализацией, по закону, занимается attorney general, а, следовательно, судебная власть.
Но вообще приведенный Вами текст выглядит откровенно страшно. Гораздо страшнее, чем мульки с вождением под мухой. Кто понимает легализ, тому видно, что текст открывает возможности для практически неограниченного произвола.

Так что пока совсем неизвестно как эти законы что-либо изменят
