Domestic Jobs Protection Act

This bill changes the federal immigration law that defines an "unauthorized alien" for employment purposes. Under current law, a noncitizen may legally work if they are a permanent resident or are authorized to work either by the Immigration and Nationality Act or by the Attorney General. The bill removes the words "or by the Attorney General" from that definition. As a result, work authorization would count only if it comes from permanent residence or from the Act itself.
