Living as an undocumented immigrant in this country is a civil infraction, not a criminal act. But, some members of our House of Representatives are working to change that. According to the Think Progress Blog, the bipartisan immigration bill that is coming together in the House would force all undocumented immigrants to plead guilty for breaking the law, and serve at least five years of probation. This probation requirement would even apply to the Dreamers, who were came to our country as children.

One GOP congressional aide said the probation would be, “similar to how judges handles small drug crimes.” So, in order to get Republicans to stop whining about amnesty, this proposal would treat undocumented immigrants like drug dealers. In addition to insulting and stigmatizing the eleven million immigrants currently living in our country, this proposal would be a huge waste of the tax revenue collected during the legalization process. Instead of the additional funds being used to pay off debt, invest in our infrastructure, or simply run our government, the money would be spent processing eleven million people through our criminal system – and then monitoring them for years after that.

This is a horrible idea on every level. Treating immigrants like drug dealers is inhumane, and it goes against everything that our country was created for. And, our court system can’t focus on real criminals when judges are busy processing eleven million new cases. Instead of criminalizing those who want to call them selves Americans, let’s fix out broken legal immigration system, and create a real path to citizenship for people who came here looking for a better life.

The Democrats better fight for an amendment to at least not include Dreamers if this is the bullshit that's coming from the House...

Are they seriously going to put a 17 year old who was brought to the country by his parents when he was 2 years old on probation? Wtf.

seriously, like where the fuck is the logic here? yes let's put the illegals who were brought here as kids with no idea what they're getting into into probation! (that will solve the immigration problem!!!!!). I just don't understand why this is even being considered for the bill.


ridiculous

A record like that follows you your entire life. what employer would spend another second to find out what kind of record it is when you put down you're a convicted felon?

My ex-boss had a drug offense as a minor and the case was dropped but when he traveled aboard, it showed in their database.

what's their next addition... should we live in a concentration camp and each of us have a number tattooed on our forarms? maybe chemical castration so they can make sure we don't procreate?
