Bill > HR2801

This bill, titled the "No Office Space for Executive Amnesty Act of 2015," aims to prevent the General Services Administration (GSA), a government agency responsible for managing federal property, from using taxpayer money to lease office space for specific immigration policies. These policies are primarily outlined in a series of memoranda issued by the Secretary of Homeland Security in November 2014, which cover various aspects of border security, the apprehension and removal of undocumented immigrants, prosecutorial discretion for certain individuals (including those brought to the U.S. as children and parents of U.S. citizens), expansion of a provisional waiver program, support for high-skilled workers, policies for families of U.S. armed forces members, consistency in advance parole (a process allowing certain individuals to enter the U.S. temporarily), and efforts to increase access to U.S. citizenship. The bill also targets similar memoranda issued by the President around the same time, focusing on creating welcoming communities for immigrants and refugees and modernizing the U.S. immigrant visa system, as well as any future similar directives issued after November 21, 2014. In essence, the bill seeks to block funding for the physical infrastructure needed to implement these specific immigration initiatives.
