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 The major change in the bill was the increase in the number of visas. 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.
