Washington_ (JTA) — Jew-
ish organizations have
welcomed the landmark
immigration bill adopted by
the departing Congress,
despite disappointment that
the number of people allow-
ed into the United States
under family reunification
provisions is not larger.
The number of close
relatives of permanent
residents allowed to come to
the United States has been
increased from 436,000 a
year to 465,000. After Oct. 1,
1993, this would increase to
480,000.
President Bush, who is
opposed to a larger increase,
has promised to sign the
legislation.
Judith Golub, the Ameri-
can Jewish Committee's
legislative director, who
worked actively in pushing
the family reunification
issue, called the bill "pro-
family" despite its shortcom-
ings.
"Families must remain
the core of the immigration
policy," she said.
"Immigrants and immigra-
tion are a plus for the United
States and should be
welcome."
This view was also
underscored by the Hebrew
Immigrant Aid Society..
"BIAS has always supported
a generous immigration
policy, so although it is not
the most perfect bill, we are
delighted that it has pass-
ed," said Phillip Saperia,
assistant executive vice
president of BIAS.
The bill would allow
700,000 people to enter the
United States a year until
1995, when the number
would drop to 675,000. The
current ceiling is 500,000.
The major change in the
bill was the increase in the
number of visas granted to
skilled workers and their
families, which will go up to
140,000 from the present
54,000.
Mr. Saperia said this
category could be particular-
ly helpful to Jews seeking
permanent immigration to
the United States from
almost any country.
The provision may also be
taken advantage of by
Israelis seeking to im-
migrate to the United
States, including the tens of
thousands of Israelis believ-
ed to be living here illegally,
Mr. Saperia said.
But the bill does not im-
mediately impact Jews from
the Soviet Union and Iran.
Jews from those countries
are considered in danger and
therefore qualify to come to
the United States as refu-
gees, a category separate
from that covered by the
immigration legislation.
However, Mr. Saperia said
that if refugee status were
ever eliminated, the new law
would help Jews from those
two countries.
The number of Soviet Jews
allowed to enter the United
States as refugees is 40,000
for the 1991 fiscal year,
which began Oct. 1. That is a
fraction of the hundreds of
thousands who have applied
in Moscow for permission to
come here.
As a result, some Soviet
Jews may try to come to the
United States as regular
immigrants. But if they are
granted permission, they

will not receive the U.S. fi-
nancial aid for transporta-
tion and initial resettlement
that refugees enjoy.
The new law also has
benefits for religious
workers, according to Abba
Cohen, Washington repre-
sentative of Agudath Israel
of America.
Mr. Cohen said that mem-
bers of the clergy, including
rabbis, can enter the United
States regardless of the im-
migration quota. He said
Agudath Israel helped
defeat an attempt to put a
cap on the number of clergy
members allowed to do so.
In fact, the definition of re-
ligious workers was
expanded to include such
people as cantors, shochets
and mohels. In addition,
Agudath Israel helped per-
suade Congress to add a new
visa category that would
allow people to come to this
country for training as re-
ligious workers.
In the Soviet Union and
Eastern Europe, there are
Jews who want "to re-
juvenate religious life, but
don't know how to do it,"Mr.
Cohen said.
The new law will allow
Jews from these countries to
come to the United States for
religious training and work
at the same time, which they
would not legally be able to
do on student visas.
