It is not fine for permanent legal status. What you are allowing the individual to do is to say: I have a job today temporarily. and with that I am going to petition for the rightand the law would then allow the individual to acquire permanent status in the United States. which then can lead to citizenship. The whole point of temporary permits. as I said. is they reflect the economic conditions for the length of the permit or the visa. Under the bill Senator CORNYN and I have. we have 2year visas. What the President has proposed is a 3year visa. The bottom line is. it should be no longer than necessary to ensure that if economic conditions change and the jobs are no longer available. that the visa would expire. the individual would return home and would not get another visa to come here for temporary work until the job has opened up again. So the fact that an individual can prove he has a job today or that he had a job yesterday has nothing whatsoever to do with the availability of employment in the future. That is the fatal flaw of this amendment.
