Restoration
of Fairness in Immigration Act of 2000 Introduced in House July 27, 2000 Representative John Conyers of Michigan publicly announced the provisions of his bill, HR 4966, which would “Fix” several of the harsh provisions of the 1996 Immigration Act. The legislation would: revoke sections of IIRAIRA that include retroactive enforcement, restore judicial review and discretion, and eliminate mandatory detention, as well as restore Section 245(i), update the registry date to January 1, 1986, create NACARA parity, grant non-immigrant visas to families of Lawful Permanent Residents who are waiting for their immigrant visas, and restore fairness in the treatment of battered immigrants.
