GROUNDS FOR INELIGIBILITY.—An alien is ineligible for contingent nonimmigrant status if the Secretary determines that the alien…if over the age of 18, has failed to demonstrate that he or she is able to maintain himself or herself at an annual income that is not less than 125 percent of the Federal poverty level throughout the period of admission as contingent nonimmigrant, unless the alien has demonstrated that the alien is enrolled in, and is in regular full-time attendance at, an educational institution within the United States;

The worst enforcement provision is criminalizing simply being in the United States without status or violating any aspect of civil immigration law (p. 170). This would turn millions of unauthorized immigrants into criminals overnight. It would also criminalize legal immigrants who fail to update their addresses, carry their green card with them at all times, or otherwise abide by the million inane regulations that Congress imposes on them. Take, for example, the status provided to Dreamers in this bill. It requires them to maintain an annual income of at least 125 percent of the poverty line (p. 396). If they fall below that level for 90 days—not only are they subject to deportation again—they would be criminals. This bill literally criminalizes poverty among Dreamers. This legislation would immediately undo much of the progress that the Feds have made on criminal justice reform and reducing its prison population.

You guys are not that good at math are you haha? The US Federal poverty line is only $15,060. So 125% of that is only $18,825. You guys are probably thinking of 1250% which would be $188,250. We really shouldn't freak out about that.

I’m not freaking out because I know t has no chance of passing. I’m just surprised a lot of people are for it when they don’t realize this same bill can get them deported any minute.

So you think is OK that if an accident happens to a dreamer and somehow they can’t work for a while and for 90 days they can’t be above their poverty line level is ok for them to get deported over it?

No of course not. But obviously the Dems would think of that and add it as an amendment or something.

Its not Bridge act.

Bridge act was only for 3 years. This is renewable forever and lets us travel with AP.

A lot of stuff here can make us criminals within a split of a second. And that needs to be adjusted.

They need you!
