Homeland Security Secretary Publicizing Passport Alternatives
By BRIAN TUMULTY Gannett Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON - Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano agreed Wednesday to a request from Sen. Chuck Schumer to work with Canadian officials in publicizing options for people who want to cross the U.S.-Canada border but don't want to pay for a passport.
"We have seen a precipitous drop-off in border crossings,'' Schumer told Napolitano at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.

Snippet(s):
"Visits to the U.S. by Canadians have dropped since June 1, when the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative began requiring new documentation for cross-border land travel."
"First-time passports cost $100 for applicants 16 or older, and $85 for children, making a visit to Canada expensive for many Americans even before they put gas in their car."
&
"The Buffalo field office of Customs and Border Protection reports travel fell 8.2 percent from June 1 to July 30 last year compared to the same period in 2007. This year, the decline was 13.3 percent drop over that same period."

LAT - Homeland Security shifts focus to employers
From my archive of press clippings:
Los Angeles Times
Homeland Security shifts focus to employers
A new policy will aim enforcement efforts at those who hire illegal workers. But immigration raids will continue, sources say.
By Josh Meyer and Anna Gorman March 31, 2009
Reporting from Los Angeles and Washington -- Stepping into the political minefield of immigration reform, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano soon will direct federal agents to focus more on arresting and prosecuting American employers than the illegal laborers who sneak into the country to work for them, department officials said Monday.
The shift in emphasis will be outlined in revamped field guidelines issued to agents of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, as early as this week, several officials familiar with the change said.

ST - DHS grants 180-day delay

DHS grants 180-day delay
Thursday, April 02, 2009
By Kristi Eaton
Reporter
They asked for it and they got it. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano yesterday announced the June 1 start date to the federalization law will be delayed by 180 days-the maximum amount allowed by law-until Nov. 28, 2009.
Read the whole article here.
Snippet(s):
"The extension means the CNMI will continue to administer its own immigration system until Nov. 28.
The proposed joint Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program, which excludes the emerging Chinese and Russian markets, will also not go into effect until Nov. 28.
Guam's own visa program will operate until Nov. 28."
"According to a DHS statement issued yesterday, “Under the CNRA, the Secretary of DHS has the sole authority to delay the June 1, 2009, transition date to U.S. immigration law up to 180 days, after consultation with the secretaries of Labor, Interior and State, the attorney general, and the governor of the CNMI.
The Secretary has determined based upon those consultations that it is advisable to exercise that authority fully.” "
"The delay will allow DHS to draft and release the remaining regulations relating to the law, and allow for enough time for the public to comment.
The proposed Visa Waiver Program is the only regulation that has been released for public comment, and it has received opposition from many in the CNMI community."
&
"As it is right now, some legal residents of the Commonwealth who do not have a valid U.S. visa will not be able to re-enter the CNMI if they must leave for a medical emergency or other reason."

re: "Secretary Napolitano on New DHS"
Gabriel Malor at Ace of Spades HQ gives the new Secretary of Homeland Security some good marks.
Quote(s):
"Unlike pro-amnesty former Secretary Chertoff, who couldn't help but insert himself into immigration policy debates, Napolitano sounds like she intends to steer clear of that sort of thing"
&
"She did a good job explaining what U.S. policy is, rather than what she thinks it ought to be. "

WASHINGTON -- President-elect Barack Obama's pick to lead the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will face a confirmation hearing before a Senate committee whose chairman, Sen. Joseph Lieberman (Ind.-Conn.), has been both a critic and a defender of the H-1B program. The Connecticut senator's most recent action on the program came in April, when he backed legislation seeking a major increase in the number of H-1B visas that are issued.
