Residency rules would limit trips for illegal aliens
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The Reagan administration yesterday proposed strict continuous-residence requirements for illegal aliens applying for amnesty, including one that would limit absences from this country to 30 days at a time.
The tentative residency rules are among a series of proposals being circulated for informal comment by the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
Together, the proposed rules provide the most comprehensive way how the NPS plans to enforce the new immigration law approved last year.
Under one provision, U.S. citizens as well as aliens applying for jobs would have to complete forms and provide documents showing they were legal residents and eligible to work in this country
In releasing the rules, the INS followed an unusual procedure that made public a draft copy of the proposals. Normally, such rules become public when tentative regulations are published in the Federal Register, an action not scheduled until the end of February.
"We are taking this unprecedented step to permit as much public input as possible to ensure that the new legislation will be implemented effectively, fairly and in an orderly manner." INS Commissioner Alan C. Nelson said.
He said final rules were expected in mid-April, just weeks before the May 5 starting date for the INS to receive amnesty applications from illegal aliens in the country since before Jan. 1, 1982.
The proposals also cover operation of the second large provision of the law: penalties for employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens. Sanctions begin June 1, although first offenders will receive warnings instead of fines for the first year.
The INS suggests a rule limiting such trips from the United States since Jan. 1, 1982 to 30 days "unless the alien can establish that...his or her return to the United States could not be accomplished within the time period allowed."
The residency rules attempt to deal with illegal aliens who have made trips back and forth across the border.
The total for all absences cannot have exceeded 150 days between the eligibility cutoff date of Jan. 1, 1982 and the date the legalization application is filed.
Illegal aliens who have achieved temporary resident status also must stay in this country during an application for applying for permanent residency.
Absences during this time cannot exceed 30 days in a single instance and 90 days total.
To support an amnesty application, the alien must produce documents showing proof of identity.
WASHINGTON — Senators yesterday asked for expanded drug testing of train operators and new authority for federal regulators to deal with what one official described as widespread tampering with automatic safety devices on trains.
Drug testing sought for railroad operators
The Associated Press
Federal railroad officials, appearing at the first in a series of congressional hearings prompted by a recent rail accident, said the government was severely limited in what it could do.
Both drug use and equipment tampering have been blamed for the Jan. 4 collision of an Amtrak passenger train and three Conrail freight locomotives near Baltimore. Sixteen people were killed and 175 others were injured in the worst accident in Amtrak's history.
Top Amtrak officials, in their first extensive public comments on the accident, blamed the Conrail crewmen.
W. Graham Claytor, Amtrak chairman, said the Conrail crew violated six operating rules: improper inspection of the cab signal system and operation of the engine though the signal was not working properly; failing to observe speed signals; passing speed signals that called for slowing the train; failing to slow down after noticed that a cab signal system was not operating properly; failing to respond to another speed restriction; and running a stop signal.
During questioning, Clayton said he was convinced that the Conrail engineer and brakeman were impaired by drug use, although investigators have not yet made such a conclusion.
Tests on the engineer and brakeman aboard the Conrail locomotive involved in the collision have shown marijuana in their blood and urine.
Witnesses told the Senate transportation appropriations subcommittee that a signal warned the Conrail
