[Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Immigration Services and
Infrastructure Improvements Act of 2000''.

SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Applications for naturalization have increased
dramatically in recent years, outpacing the Immigration and
Naturalization Service's ability to process them.
(2) The dramatic increase in applications for
naturalization and the inability of the Immigration and
Naturalization Service to deal with them adequately has
resulted in an unacceptably large backlog in naturalization
adjudications.
(3) The processing times in the Immigration and
Naturalization Service's other immigration benefits have been
unacceptably long. Applicants for family- and employment-based
visas are waiting as long as 3 to 4 years to obtain a visa or
an adjustment to lawful permanent resident status.
(4) In California, the delays in processing adjustment of
status applications have averaged 52 months. In Texas, the
delays have averaged 69 months. Residents of New York have had
to wait up to 28 months; in Florida, 26 months; in Illinois, 37
months; in Oregon, 31 months; and in Arizona, 49 months. Most
other States have experienced unacceptably long processing and
adjudication delays.
(5) Applicants pay fees to have their applications
adjudicated in a timely manner. These fees have increased
dramatically in recent years without a commensurate increase in
the capability of that Immigration and Naturalization Service
to process and adjudicate these cases in an efficient manner.
(6) Processing these applications in a timely fashion is
critical. Each 12-month delay in adjudicating an adjustment of
status application requires the alien to file applications to
extend employment authorization to work and advance parole
documents to travel.
(7) The enormous delays in processing applications for
families and businesses have had a negative impact on the
reunification of spouses and minor children and the ability of
law-abiding and contributing members of our communities to
participate fully in the civic life of the United States.
(8) United States employers have also experienced
debilitating delays in hiring employees who contribute to the
economic growth of the United States. These delays have forced
employers to send highly skilled and valued employees out of
the United States because their immigrant petitions were not
approved in a timely fashion. Such disruptions seriously
threaten the competitive edge of the United States in the
global marketplace.
(b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to--
(1) provide the Immigration and Naturalization Service with
the mechanisms it needs to eliminate the current backlog in the
processing of immigration benefit applications within 1 year
after enactment of this Act and to maintain the elimination of
the backlog in future years; and
(2) provide for regular congressional oversight of the
performance of the Immigration and Naturalization Service in
eliminating the backlog and processing delays in immigration
benefits adjudications.
(c) Policy.--It is the sense of Congress that the processing of an
immigration benefit application should be completed not later than 180
days after the initial filing of the application, except that a
petition for a nonimmigrant visa under section 214(c) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act should be processed not later than 30
days after the filing of the petition.

SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.

In this Act:
(1) Backlog.--The term ''backlog'' means, with respect to
an immigration benefit application, the period of time in
excess of 180 days that such application has been pending
before the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
(2) Immigration benefit application.--The term
''immigration benefit application'' means any application or
petition to confer, certify, change, adjust, or extend any
status granted under the Immigration and Nationality Act.

SEC. 4. IMMIGRATION SERVICES AND INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT ACCOUNT.

(a) Authority of the Attorney General.--The Attorney General shall
take such measures as may be necessary to--
(1) reduce the backlog in the processing of immigration
benefit applications, with the objective of the total
elimination of the backlog not later than one year after the
date of enactment of this Act;
(2) make such other improvements in the processing of
immigration benefit applications as may be necessary to ensure
that a backlog does not develop after such date; and
(3) make such improvements in infrastructure as may be
necessary to effectively provide immigration services.
(b) Authorization of Appropriations.--
(1) In general.--There is authorized to be appropriated to
the Department of Justice from time to time such sums as may be
necessary for the Attorney General to carry out subsection (a).
(2) Designation of account in treasury.--Amounts
appropriated pursuant to paragraph (1) may be referred to as
the ''Immigration Services and Infrastructure Improvements
Account''.
(3) Availability of funds.--Amounts appropriated pursuant
to paragraph (1) are authorized to remain available until
expended.
(4) Limitation on expenditures.--None of the funds
appropriated pursuant to paragraph (1) may be expended until
the report described in section 5(a) has been submitted to
Congress.
