This proposed legislation, known as the "Domestic Jobs Protection Act" , aims to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act. Specifically, it targets Section 274A(h)(3), which defines an "unauthorized alien" for employment purposes. The bill's core provision is to strike the phrase "or by the Attorney General" from this definition. This amendment would remove the Attorney General's discretion to authorize an alien for employment, thereby narrowing the pathways through which non-citizens can legally work in the United States. Consequently, an alien would only be considered authorized for employment if they are a lawful permanent resident or explicitly authorized by the Immigration and Nationality Act itself.
