Courtesy Notice Regarding Proposed Immigration Reform announced
by President George W. Bush

January 8, 2004

Dear Employer:

As you might be aware, yesterday President Bush proposed a temporary worker program that would be open to new foreign workers and to the undocumented men and women currently employed in the U.S.

This is a brief summary of what this new proposed legislation is and is not:

· This is simply a conceptual proposition made by the President to Congress;
· The President has not presented this proposition in writing to the Congress;
· Congress has not approved this proposition;
· Congress must draft this proposition and present it to the president for his approval and signature;
· There is no written bill;
· THIS IS NOT A LAW;
· There is no Guest Worker Program in place at this time;
· This is NOT an amnesty.

HOWEVER, PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

· This program will offer legal status to undocumented aliens as temporary workers;
· All who participate in the temporary worker program must have a job, or, if not living in the United States, a job offer;
· The legal status granted by this program will last three years and will be renewable -- but it will have an end;
· New laws would provide incentives for temporary, foreign workers to return permanently to their home countries after their period of work in the United States has expired;
· Temporary workers will be able to establish their identities by obtaining the legal documents we all take for granted.

This office will continue to keep you updated. Should such a program become law we will advise you. Also, you can visit our website at www.anayancyimmigration.com for new information on this topic.

Very truly yours,

Anayancy R. Housman
Attorney at Law
