New USCIS policy means anyone who files for an immigration benefit that's denied, leaving them out of status, will be put into removal proceedings.
Sound ok? It's not.
Let's take some examples to drive the point home how awful this is.

1. Jack, a foreign student, files for an extension. He's always been in status. Changes address, informs USCIS; acknowledged. USCIS sends request for evidence to old address anyway.
Extension of status denied for failure to respond.
Jack is put in removal proceedings.

2. Maria, here on a fiancee visa, files for a green card. Her US citizen husband has a good job. Before the interview, Maria is diagnosed with breast cancer. Officer finds out and denies Maria's green card, saying she's likely to become a public charge.
Maria is put in removal.
Maria is put in removal.
3. Sam is a software engineer. He has a green card pending from his employer.
Employer gets bought out by another company. USCIS denies the petition, saying insufficient proof the new employer can continue the sponsorship.

4. Nancy is disabled and came to the US lawfully on a "medical" visit visa for treatment. Her doctors need her to stay for another round.

5. Jen was abused by her spouse and files for VAWA protection. She suffers from severe depression and is unable to respond to a request for evidence asking for a psychosocial report.
Her petition is denied.
Jen is placed in removal.
Her petition is denied.
Jen is placed in removal.
I hope the point is clear. It's not easy to stay in status. Life happens.
To put everyone in removal proceedings who fails to dot every i/cross every t is like cracking a peanut with a sledgehammer.
This will create panic as an already unforgiving system becomes even stricter.

USCIS used to focus only on cases with criminal/fraud elements.
Immigration courts have a staggering backlog of 700K cases.
Now, another stream of new cases will be pumped in. This balloon is going to pop.
When it does, it'll be replaced with a new, due process free version.

The message is clear:
You're not welcome here.
This is the result of years of nativist, protectionist nonsense peddled by groups like @FAIRImmigration, @wwwCISorg, and @NumbersUSA.

The asylum law is being gutted.
Judges are being robbed of the little independence they had, pressured to order removal.
Families are ripped apart to "send a message."
Immigration compliance is becoming harder and harder, with more and more traps.
People are being dedocumented.
