New Way Forward Act

Tucker has a follow-up.

No sponsor wants to talk.

Happening in dark.

Wonder if the Dimbulbcrats who are backing this bill read the part about felons who’ve been deported will be allowed to return to the US and the goobermint will pay for it?
In short, the subsidized importation of criminals!

Schiff, Nadler, Schumer, Pelosi, AOC, Talib, Ilhan, Maxine, and on and on and on. Are there ANY normal people left in the Democrat party? Seriously, who votes for these people? The “Walking Dead” crowd seems to be a step up. And they call us the deplorables? That’s pretty scary stuff.

Carville (who I can’t stand) is correct. The dems have ■■■■■■■ lost it.

It does all of that, Reading is fundamental.

This is how its being sold…

It is important to re-imagine the path the Act entails, said Anoop Prasad, staff attorney at AAAJ’s Asian Law Caucus, despite given the political environment in D.C. “We are figuring out how to move forward, after decades of mass deportation due to mistakes in the policies we made in the 1990s.”

Forget the criminal acts its W’s policy faults.

Even with a best case spin this legislation is moving immigration law in the wrong direction.

:fast_forward:

  • Reduce mass incarceration by ending mandatory detention and banning for-profit immigration jails.
  • Allow immigration judges to consider a person’s individual circumstances during deportation proceedings, allowing more people to remain with their families and move forward with their lives without fear that an old offense could lead to deportation.
  • Allow independent federal judges to review certain decisions of immigration judges that the 1996 laws unfairly tried to remove from judicial oversight.
  • End federal prison sentences and criminal prosecutions for people who cross the border seeking freedom, safety, opportunity, or to reunite with their families.
  • Advance racial justice and address obstacles to equal justice in the criminal legal system by limiting deportation for drug convictions and other offenses that result from enforcement that disproportionately targets communities of color.
  • Protect communities and local resources by ending the harmful practice of local police acting as deportation agents or carrying out mass deportations with ICE.
  • Allow people previously ordered deported to apply for the opportunity to come home.

Simply put this will in effect gut immigration law. Transforming the US into a lawless third world shell of its former self with LEO, INS, and prosecutions mired in countervailing law.

New way forward is code for immigration reform and elimination of barriers to flood the US labor and housing markets.

Goes all the way back to Clinton. What was once a compromise is now a one sided injustice.

History from above link…I

n the late 1990’s, the Immigrant Justice Network (IJN) along with grassroots and national partners began a conversation about the mass incarceration of immigrants in the U.S., grounded in the values of justice, human dignity, and due process, the #Fix96 campaign was launched.

#Fix96 was a call to challenge the two immigration laws signed during the Clinton administration in 1996–the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRAIRA) and the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA). These laws further entrenched mass incarceration and laid the blueprint for the deportation machine we face today.

Although the #Fix96 campaign was supported by grassroots organizations across the country, elected officials on both sides continued to focus on exclusive immigration reform efforts and have failed to address the mass criminalization and enforcement enabled by the 1996 bills.

Now, with the New Way Forward Campaign, IJN continues to call for dismantling the systems that criminalize and incarcerate immigrants. In addition to the 1996 bills, we must also repeal harmful laws enacted decades earlier that criminalize migration and have led to a mass expansion in federal private prisons and enabled significant abuses, from “assembly-line” hearings of shackled people to Trump’s infamous family separation policy.
