The Homeland Security Act\n( P.L.\n107-296 ) reorganizes the federal government with the creation of a new Cabinet-level Department\nof Homeland Security. As part of this reorganization, it abolishes the Immigration and\nNaturalization Service (INS) and transfers INS's enforcement and service functions to separate\nbureaus within the new department. The USA PATRIOT Act ( P.L. 107-56 ) and the Enhanced\nBorder Security and Visa Entry Reform Act ( P.L. 107-173 ) contain important provisions on border\nsecurity, admissions policy, and foreign students. Among the other immigration-related laws enacted\nby the 107th Congress are measures that expand noncitizen eligibility for food stamps, extend special\nrefugee provisions for former Soviet and Indochinese refugees, and create new nonimmigrant visa\nsub-categories for border commuter students.", "type": "CRS Report", "typeId": "REPORTS", "active": false, "formats": [ { "format": "PDF", "encoding": null, "url": "http://www.crs.gov/Reports/pdf/RS21438", "sha1": "858b451d02b5ef2715255d3cc06a5849c321b549", "filename": "files/20030226_RS21438_858b451d02b5ef2715255d3cc06a5849c321b549.pdf", "images": null }, { "format": "HTML", "filename": "files/20030226_RS21438_858b451d02b5ef2715255d3cc06a5849c321b549.html" } ], "topics": [] } ], "topics": [ "American Law", "Domestic Social Policy", "Immigration Policy" ] }
