11/21/2011: H.R. 3012 Legislation Update: Placed on the House Union Calendar No. 193 on 11/18/2011 This bill is now placed on the full House floor calendar. The specific date has yet to be decided but it has at least been placed on calendar now. Those who are not too familiar with the background and purpose of this bill and voting records in the Committee may read the House Report 112-292. The bill was amended in the final Judiciary Committee action accomodating Rep. Zoe Lofgren's amendment. Since then, the number of sponsors of the bill increased intial 2 to 11 Representatives. The final sponsors are: Rep Flake, Jeff [AZ-6], Rep Goodlatte, Bob [VA-6], Rep Griffin, Tim [AR-2], Rep Gutierrez, Luis V. [IL-4], Rep Holt, Rush D. [NJ-12], Rep Jackson, Jesse L., Jr. [IL-2], Rep Lofgren, Zoe [CA-16], Rep. Maloney, Carolyn B. [NY-14], Rep Moran, James P. [VA-8], Rep Smith, Lamar [TX-21], and Rep Thompson, Glenn. Joining of Rep. Luis Gutierez and Rep. Zoe Lofgren imply an important bi-partisan bill, particularly Rep Gutierez who used to oppose piece-meal employment-based immigration bills as a strong advocate of Comprehensive Immibration Reform legislation. As soon as the specific floor schedule is determined, we will report the date. Please stay tuned to this website. Jason mama ..u r late |
