Dick Durbin's statement on Succeed act - Page 3

I don't think it means what you think it means. This section seems to be amending the current visa waiver program (see link below). They want to prevent visa overstays caused by people coming to the US on the visa waiver program (basically it allows citizens of certain countries to come to the US for 90 days or less without having to obtain a visa for tourism or business).

It's on page 12: https://www.lankford.senate.gov/imo/...SUCCEEDAct.pdf

Basically the Trump administration would have full rein over who stays and who doesn't and you can't contest in court because you waive your right to.

Interesting with the lawful status part.... F/J/L visa holders are still out of luck

as it should be!

damn, dont tell DACA-IR-DA that there is an age cap. lol

something will pass though,

some sort of DREAM ACT/RAC ACT Hybrid - Border Security Bill.

This isn't going to pass... to much politricks on this one. They need to at least amend that portion.

Any Ted Cruz constitutional gurus here, would this portion even stand in court?

I believe that all people in the United States have a right to be represented in court...

So this does not apply to foreigners abroad, nor people at the border.

this isnt the miracle bill some of you guys were preaching earlier about

(a) VISA
WAIVER PROGRAM WAIVER OF RIGHTS
Section 217(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8
U.S.C. 1187(b)) is amended to read as follows:
‘‘(b) WAIVER OF R IGHTS
.—An alien may not be pro-
10 vided a waiver under the program unless the alien—
‘‘(1) has signed, under penalty of perjury, an
acknowledgment confirming that the alien has been
notified and understands that he or she will be ineli-
gible for any right to relief under sections 240B,
245, 248, and 249 (other than relief from removal
under section 241(b)(3)) and any relief not in effect
at the time such acknowledgment is signed, if the
alien fails to depart from the United States at the
end of the 90-day period for admission;
‘‘(2) has waived any right to review or appeal
under this Act of an immigration officer’s deter-
mination regarding the admissibility of the alien at
a port of entry into the United States; and
‘‘(3) has waived any right to contest, other than
on the basis of an application for asylum, any action
for removal of the alien.’’.




we lose our right to see a judge, for any reason, we can lose our cpr and be deported, no need to see a judge, and we have to be fear for 10 long y ears

This may be a relevant commentary: https://law.yale.edu/system/files/ar...ndLoathing.pdf

some said its only for the VISA Waiver PROGRAM people, but i dont trust these GOP peeps, its ridiculous... if you made a clerical error, misrepresentation, or lacking RFE on your application, you could be put to expedited removal without representation. no 5th amendment rights! very sad!
