S.Amdt. 1937

SA 1937. Mr. SESSIONS submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to the bill S. 1639, to provide for comprehensive immigration reform and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

In the appropriate place at the end of section 409, insert the following:

“Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act,

“(4) Annual limit on the total number of Y(i) 2-year temporary workers allowed to perform labor in the U.S. during any single year--

“(a) a Y(i) worker returning to the United States for a second or third two-year work period shall be counted against the annual cap of 200,000 Y(i) workers; and

“(b) the total number of Y(i) workers present in the United States during any single year shall not exceed 400,000. (The number will be higher than 200,000 because, in any given year after the first fiscal year, workers will be present in both their first and second years of their first, second, or third 2-year work periods).”.
