Statement of Administration Policy: H.R. 3259 - Immigration Nursing Relief Act of 1989

(House)
(Schumer (D) New York and 4 others)

The Administration opposes H.R. 3259 because it would:

• single out one profession (i.e., nursing) for preferential legislative treatment with respect to the immigration laws; and
  
  
• prohibit the Department of Justice — through September 30, 1992 — from undertaking rulemakings concerning the H-l nonimmigrant visa category.
