(CIR) refers to the legislation
pending in the U.S. Congress which

issues. These include a
process for the legalization of the

in the U.S., a temporary worker

processes for employers.

pointing out flaws in the
overall value of the program
as well as the funding and
the violation of
individuals’ privacy.
