On February 14, Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) re-introduced the “Strengthening Our Commitment to Legal Immigration and America’s Security Act” (S. 332). Senator Hatch first introduced this bill on September 29, 2010, but it died in committee. The current bill has been referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. As outlined in our report of the bill’s initial introduction, Senator Hatch’s bill includes a long list of immigration enforcement provisions, such as requiring the IRS to notify Social Security number holders if the agency suspects fraudulent use of their number for employment verification purposes.
