Kenneth Palinkas, president of the National Citizenship and Immigration Services Council, a union representing 12,000 U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officers and staff, issued a statement Monday explaining why his union has decided to officially oppose the Schumer-Rubio immigration bill.
“The USCIS Council was not consulted in the crafting of the Gang of Eight’s legislation,” Palinkas writes. “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.”
