Bill #6

6) Rep. Burns (R-VA) proposed a bill entitled "Productive Immigration Reform Bill." The majority opinion, from Rep. Burns, claims that if we're going to let people into the US, they should be the most skilled people. The minority opinion, from Rep. Kottapalli, asks: on what basis would the technical skill of immigrants be measured? He expresses the Democrats opinion that while the sentiment has good intentions, the costs would outweigh the benefits.

Rep. Rees explained his opinion that the green card lottery urgently reform. Rep. Perez asked Rep. Kottapalli: which technical skills would he like to see more in the US? In response, Rep. Kottapalli states that no one can decide the metric to use. He also claims that Rep. Burns' bill lacks specificity and needs less vague rhetoric in order to be considered valid.

After extensive debate, Congress voted.

Bill passed. The President vetoes, claiming that it is unconstitutional. The override of the veto failed.
