USCIS Union Opposes Amnesty

May 21, 2013

The National Citizenship and Immigration Services Council (NCISC), the union representing approximately 12,000 immigration enforcement officers, announced its opposition to the Senate’s Gang of Eight immigration reform legislation.

Previously, the National ICE Council, another government union representing Immigration & Customs Enforcement employees, warned that this legislation was a danger to the general public.

According to Politico, these two unions represent more than 20,000 Department of Homeland Security employees working in immigration.

NCISC president, Kenneth Palinkas stated:

Yet, like the ICE Council, the USCIS Council was not consulted in the crafting of the Gang of Eight’s legislation. Instead, the legislation was written with special interests- producing a bill that makes the current system worse, not better. S. 744 will damage public safety and national security and should be opposed by lawmakers.

Immigration Term

Immigrant

Commonly, permanent resident aliens and those who have been naturalized as U.S. citizens are referred to as immigrants. However, the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) defines an immigrant as any alien in the United States, except those legally admitted specifically as nonimmigrants (such as foreign students). An illegal alien is not a permanent resident alien, but would be an immigrant under the INA’s definition.
