The section II says "sole factor". You then said "your past criminal record can't be used to justify detaining you". You see what you did there? The section II does not preclude using your criminal history to detain you. It says that can't be the only reason. I happen to disagree with that, as written. It's intent is clear (i.e. detaining you for something minor is not a great use of resources, which I would agree with).Uh, huh.
The entire bill is nonsense on stilts. If someone is a serial killer, there shouldn't need to be any other justification to hold the guy right then and there. (Or not throw him off a cliff, for that matter).
This bill removes that.
What IS interesting about it is that 122 other democrats in Congress signed off on it...which makes this back door amnesty the effective position of the democrat party. This after them denying that policy position for years...and yet here we are.
You are correct, Biden "removed" many people. But also because they played fast and loose with the numbers, as did his boss Obama back in the day:
https://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-obama-deporta...WASHINGTON — Immigration activists have sharply criticized President Obama for a rising volume of deportations, labeling him the “deporter in chief” and staging large protests that have harmed his standing with some Latinos, a key group of voters for Democrats.
But the portrait of a steadily increasing number of deportations rests on statistics that conceal almost as much as they disclose. A closer examination shows that immigrants living illegally in most of the continental U.S. are less likely to be deported today than before Obama came to office, according to immigration data.
Expulsions of people who are settled and working in the United States have fallen steadily since his first year in office, and are down more than 40% since 2009.In other words, the Obama/Biden administration fudged the numbers.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/nearly-two-third...The Biden administration’s open border policies allowed in a record net of 8.3 million migrants, nearly two-thirds illegally, according to a new analysis of U.S. Census data detailing the Democrat’s disaster.
About 5.4 million migrants crossed into the U.S. illegally over the past four years, making former President Joe Biden the record-holder for the worst border enforcement ever.The study that backs that up is
At 15.8 percent of the total U.S. population, the foreign-born share is higher now than at the prior peaks reached in 1890 and 1910. No U.S. government survey or census has ever shown such a large foreign-born population.
The current numbers have rendered Census Bureau projections obsolete. Just two years ago, the Bureau projected the foreign-born share would not reach 15.8 percent until 2042.
The 53.3 million foreign-born residents are the largest number ever in U.S. history; and the 8.3 million increase in the last four years is larger than the growth in the preceding 12 years.
The above figures represent net growth. New arrivals are offset by outmigration and deaths in the existing immigrant population. Our best estimate is that 11.5 to 12.5 million legal and illegal immigrants settled in the country in the last four years.
Although some immigrants are missed by government surveys, our preliminary estimate is that there are 15.4 million illegal immigrants in the January 2025 CPS, an increase of more than 50 percent (5.4 million) over the last four years in the survey.+5.4 million illegals in the last 4 years.
It's just not possible to assimilate that many people that quickly...and bills like this - don't help.
