"Comprehensive Immigration Modernization and Vetting Act" draft leaked
 

This Act may be cited as the "Comprehensive Immigration Modernization
and Vetting Act" or "CIMVA".

(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following:
(1) The U.S. immigration system is overly bureaucratic,
inefficient, and lacks proper technological integration.
(2) Current processes for legal immigration are unclear,
discouraging highly skilled individuals from entering
the workforce.
(3) The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
program has demonstrated successful vetting and
oversight of a noncitizen population but lacks a
structured pathway to permanence.
(4) Immigration enforcement must balance national security
with economic and workforce needs.
(5) The United States has a moral and legal obligation to
provide refuge for individuals fleeing persecution.

(b) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this Act is—
(1) to streamline legal immigration with a simplified,
digital application process;
(2) to create a Tiered Legal Status System for properly
vetted noncitizens;
(3) to establish clear pathways from temporary status to
legal permanent residency (LPR);
(4) to incentivize employment and education-based
immigration while maintaining national security
standards; and
(5) to provide a fair and efficient process for asylum
seekers and refugees.


(a) CREATION OF A PROVISIONAL LEGAL RESIDENT (PLR) STATUS.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—Individuals who meet the stringent
vetting criteria described in section 7(a) may
obtain Provisional Legal Resident (PLR) status.
(2) BENEFITS.—PLR recipients shall receive—
(A) work authorization;
(B) protection from deportation (unless convicted of
a felony or a crime of moral turpitude as
defined in section 237(a)(2) of the Immigration
and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1227(a)(2))); and
(C) access to driver’s licenses and tax ID numbers.
(3) RESTRICTIONS.—PLR recipients shall not have access to—
(A) welfare benefits (TANF, SNAP, Supplemental
Security Income (SSI));
(B) federally-funded Medicaid, except for emergency
services and treatment of communicable diseases
as required by public health laws;
(C) Social Security or Medicare (unless they become
eligible through subsequent LPR status and meet
the standard contribution requirements); or
(D) voting rights.
(4) PATHWAY TO LPR.—After five years, PLR holders may
apply for LPR status if they have—
(A) maintained continuous employment or enrollment
in a recognized educational institution, or
demonstrated significant entrepreneurial activity
contributing to the U.S. economy;
(B) paid taxes and filed all required Federal and
State tax returns;
(C) no criminal record as defined in paragraph (2)(B);
and
(D) demonstrated basic English language proficiency
and knowledge of U.S. civics, as determined by a
standardized test.
(5) DURATION AND RENEWAL.— PLR status shall be valid for
five years and may be renewed once for an additional
five years, provided the individual continues to meet
the eligibility requirements. After ten years in PLR
status, individuals must either adjust to LPR status
or depart the United States.
(6) STREAMLINED PATH TO LPR.—PLR holders will be eligible to apply for LPR
status after 5 years of continuous PLR, providing a more streamlined
process from their previous undocumented state.

I doubt its real. Too suspicious and not enough details. If they posted it before it could be cooked properly then they probably did it as bad faith to derail it. Assuming its real to begin with, which makes me HIGHLY suspicious. Where are the arbitrary and callous parts?
