  • Guest Worker Program: A Guest Worker Program would allow as many as 200,000 low-skilled workers a year to come to the U.S. and perform jobs for companies who can't find American workers.

  • Illegal Immigration from Mexico to the United States: Mexicans who are caught illegally crossing the border are fingerprinted and immediately returned, unless they are a repeat offender. Repeat offenders may be criminally prosecuted. The vast majority of illegal immigrants currently residing in the United States are from Mexico.

  • Illegal Immigration to the United States: The United States government estimates that there are over 10 million undocumented immigrants, or  illegal aliens, living in the United States.

  • Immigration Amnesty: Since the first widespread immigration amnesty took effect in 1986, millions of undocumented aliens, or illegal immigrants, have been granted permanent resident status in the United States. Critics claims that immigration amnesties entice an even greater number of illegal migrants, but it is speculated that there could be even more amnesties in the near future.

  • Immigration Reform: President Bush supported a bill for comprehensive immigration reform. Some of the proposals included: resolving the status of the millions of illegal immigrants already in the United States, encouraging illegal immigrants to assimilate, improving border security, introducing a temporary guest worker program, and penalizing employers who willingly hiring illegal immigrants.

  • Immigration Reform and Control Act: For many immigrants in the United States the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) changed their lives. It is also known as the Simpson-Mazzoli Act and was signed on November 6, 1986 by President Ronald Reagan.

  • INA - Immigration and Nationality Act: The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) came into existence in 1952, and serves as a way to restructure and code immigration law. Before the Immigration and Nationality Act, there was no organized location for statues concerning immigration law.

  • Z Visa: The Z visa comes with a fine of $5,000 per person, and the individual must return to their home country before they are legally admitted into the United States and granted legal resident status.
