The ‘96 immigration laws criminalized immigrants, created mandatory detention and deportation.

We demand Congress to introduce legislation that will end these harmful and outdated laws.

#NewWayForward
It's time to stop criminalizing immigrants. They created MANDATORY detention & have devastated thousands of immigrants. They allowed local police to work as ICE agents.

Ask your rep to introduce legislation to repeal the harmful ‘96 immigration laws.

It is time to end this.
#NewWayForward is a smart new campaign from @the_ILRC fighting back against anti-immigrant laws passed in 1996 which are driving mass deportation and mass incarceration.

Victory on our fight to defend the rights of migrant children in San Antonio! 🎉

Those commissioners who voted the right way have denied Vision Quest the ability to open a for-profit children’s detention center in the city.
Vision Quest has a history of abuse towards innocent young migrants and we are grateful to the commissioners for making the move.
Thank you to our local partners SA Stands, TOP, @MOVE_texas , Innovation Law Lab and our RAICES staff for leading on this fight.

Tonight we won! 🙌🏽💚
Tonight we made it clear that no migrant child belongs in immigration detention.

Sergio's #DACA had expired, but he'd started the reapplication process & wasn't worried.

Then ICE agents ambushed him & took him behind an abandoned Walmart, stripping him of his things.

The reason? His tweets. ICE punished him for being an activist.

theintercept.com/2019/11/02/dep…
Sergio was grabbed and taken to a cell where he spent 43 days watching as the FBI, ICE, & USCIS investigated every aspect of his life.

They questioned his neighbors & combed through his social media presence, looking to build a criminal case against him.
This isn't the first time the federal gov. has targeted a #DACA activist.

All summer, Sergio & friends had been protesting in front of the San Antonio ICE office #OccupyICESATX

Sergio stood up when he saw immigrants caged and separated from their loved ones

There are 1,600 people sleeping in tents in Matamoros, a city the State Dept. lists as the highest level of danger for frequent kidnappings, murders, sexual assaults etc.

Juana is one of them. She was sent back here w/her husband & 4 m/o baby, w/nothing but a bag of paperwork.
She tried to seek asylum in the US. CBP turned her away under Remain in Mexico, sending her back across the border as night fell—no aid, no instructions on how to survive, little idea why this was happening.

The family was shocked to be sent back. They hadn't prepared for this.
Her baby has a fever & no access to medical services. They had nowhere to sleep when they arrived in the tent encampment. It was only b/c volunteers & fellow migrants found them food & a tent that they've been able to survive.

The infrastructure isn't there to care for them.

Here's how to end the border crisis:
1. @realDonaldTrump enters an executive order under 8 USC 1182 that stops ALL IMMIGRATION for 180 days.
2. @POTUS notifies foreign countries our borders are closed.
3. Notify Mexico that if they can't keep people from crossing, we
will establish a perimeter on their side of the border at least two miles wide that we will secure by any means necessary to protect our sovereignty. Send the military to fly it, secure it and patrol it.
4. Stop all public assistance to illegals. Round them up, bus them back.
5. Keep families together on bus deep into Mexico
6. No TAX DOLLARS for any groups helping "resettlements."Catholic charities and others have turned it into billion dollar business
7. VOTE OUT OF OFFICE EVERY SENATOR OR CONGRESSMAN WHO CRAMMED THE HORRIBLE SPENIDING BILL THROUGH

Going to do a little live tweeting of today's #HSGAC hearing on the Flores Settlement which the administration and @RonJohnsonWI are looking to overturn so they can get the asylum system and hold children indefinitely in detention
@RonJohnsonWI @immcouncil and @AILANational have a statement for today's hearing which you can see here americanimmigrationcouncil.org/content/statem…
Currently @RonJohnsonWI is doing all he can to say why he thinks the Flores settlement is bad and how he thinks it incentivizes #immigration. He is doing a great job showing he doesnt know what he is talking about. Migrants do not know about the TVPRA or Flores...

Here are some real ideas to fix the #immigration system.

1. Get rid of the 3 and 10 year bars and replace with a fine.
2. Put more asylum officers near the border.
3. Create a market-based cap for employment-based immigration.
4. Create an entrepreneurial startup visa.
5. Create a path to a green card for E-2 investors. Include any children brought here before age 21.
6. Let's really make a 10 year law: provisional green cards.
7. Direct DHS to allow people to take the steps to correct their immigration status.
8. Penalties besides deportation.
9. Put money and resources into fraud detection.
10. Expand guest worker programs to allow people to go back and forth.
11. Invest in antigang resources.
12. Centralized U visa databases.
13. Tax incentives for microbusiness in high unemployment areas.
14. State biz incubators.
