WE NEED YOUR HELP TO FIGHT THIS ATROCIOUS LEGISLATION!!!
Oppose Anti-Immigrant Attacks Now!
The House Judiciary Committee has once again mounted a frontal assault on the due process rights of noncitizens in this country by passing the Border Protection, Anti-Terrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005 (HR 4437). Click here to view the text of the legislation
(http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=11536) or here to view a section-by-section analysis of the most troubling provisions
(http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=18126).
In short, this 170-page bill would criminalize unlawful presence; strip judicial review; gut due process for aliens, permanent residents, and U.S. citizens; broaden expedited removal; expand criminal liability to reach family members, employers, and immigrant advocates; increase mandatory detention; place unrealistic and counterproductive
restrictions on naturalization; expand the already overbroad aggravated felony definition to reach mere unlawful presence; create new grounds of deportability and removability; and militarize the border.
The full House is scheduled to consider and vote on this atrocious legislation on either Wednesday (12/14) or Thursday (12/15) of this week! Click here to view the action alert and send a letter to your Members of Congress
(http://capwiz.com/aila2/issues/alert/?alertid=7614761&type=CO).
A day of action is organized for Wednesday (12/14). Every single one of us needs to call and write to our Members of Congress, making it crystal clear that the vast majority of Americans adamantly oppose anti-immigrant proposals that negate our constitutional commitment to fair process. More information to follow.
Get angry, get engaged, and make a difference now!
