or in many instances pay a penalty, if they hire individuals 
who were not lawfully present but who have been granted 
deferred action under the Deferred Action for Childhood 
Arrivals Program and work authorization. 
(b) It is the sense of the Congress that— 
(1) this disparate treatment has the unacceptable ef-
fect of discouraging the hiring of United States citizens 
and those in a lawful immigration status in the United 
States; and 
(2) the Executive Branch should refrain from pur-
suing policies, such as granting deferred action under the 
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program and work 
authorization to unlawfully present individuals, that dis-

in a lawful immigration status in the United States. 
SEC. 583. It is the sense of the Congress that the 
Director of United States Citizenship and Immigration 
Services (USCIS) should— 
(1) stop putting the interests of aliens who are 
unlawfully present in the United States ahead of the 
interests of aliens who are following proper immigra-
tion laws and procedures by adjudicating petitions 
and applications for immigration benefits submitted 
by aliens unlawfully present in the United States.

When USCIS adjudicators and resources are used to 
adjudicate petitions and applications for aliens who 
are unlawfully present, the time it takes to process 
petitions and applications submitted by other aliens 
is significantly increased and a backlog is created. In 
addition, it is unfair to use the fees paid by other 
aliens to cover the costs of adjudicating petitions 
and applications for aliens unlawfully present in the 
United States; and 
(2) use the funds available under existing law 
to improve services and increase the efficiency of the 
immigration benefits application process for aliens 
abroad or who are lawfully present in the United 
States. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Department of Home-
