Try ICE's website? That just might be a FAQ these days.

From the blogosphere

Link to liberal immigration lawyers web page

From the hackinglawgroup page they blame Clinton for passing the law that setup the process that Trump and Sessions are using..

They still don't like Trump and say so, but they do take a shot at WJC and IIRIRA.

from the blog..



In 1996, Democratic President Bill Clinton signed the harshest immigration bill that this nation had seen in decades. The effects of this bill linger and hang over any efforts for “immigration reform.”

Interestingly, Clinton’s Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act has not been discussed much this election cycle, despite the fact that IIRIRA established the deportation machine that has been humming along for two decades now.

Regular readers of this website know that we have been super-critical of Republican hard-liner Donald Trump and his harsh anti-immigrant, xenophobic presidential campaign. But this does not mean that Democrats get a pass here.

The truth is that the “centrist” Bill Clinton signed the most draconian immigration bill of our lifetime. President Barack Obama has deported more people than any President in the nation’s history. Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton promises immigration reform, but what exactly would that reform look like?

Lost in all of this is IIRIRA. According to a recent article on Vox:

The ’96 law essentially invented immigration enforcement as we know it today — where deportation is a constant and plausible threat to millions of immigrants. It was a bundle of provisions with a single goal: to increase penalties on immigrants who had violated US law in some way (whether they were unauthorized immigrants who’d violated immigration law or legal immigrants who’d committed other crimes).

IIRIRA greatly expanded the types of crimes that could result in the deportation of a foreign national. This included lawful permanent residents. And the Clinton bill made those changes retroactive, thereby boosting the number of possible (probable) deportations.

The law also made many immigrants subject to mandatory detention while their immigration cases were being decided. This pre-trial hammer was used to make frustrated, imprisoned immigrants give up their effort to stop deportation and simply go home. An underfunded deportation judicial system only meant that these immigrants had to wait longer and longer while in lockup for their day in court.

Immigrants convicted of certain crimes or those caught within 100 miles of the border were given summary deportation orders without ever having the chance to see an immigration judge.

Finally, the 1996 law made it almost impossible for undocumented immigrants to receive cancellation of removal. This is a form of relief for longtime undocumented immigrants who had not committed crimes to stay in the country. IIRIRA made it almost impossible to obtain such relief.

Proponents of immigration reform and immigration advocates are understandably appalled by the harsh rhetoric coming from the Republican party on this issue. But it cannot and should not be lost on any one who follows this issue that the Democrats have a lot of blame for our current situation as well.

You can’t avoid searching through the laws hunting for what you want. That’s what keeps law clerks working 80 hours a week, so why should you get off easy? Smile

I doubt there is a statute saying that directly.

If I understood Sec. Nielsen this afternoon, anyone entering the country illegally is subject to arrest. Minors must be turned over to HHS within a day or so of detention.

Watch this clip from Sec. Nielsen’s appearance this afternoon for such understanding as is possible. http://video.foxnews.com/v/579...5001/?#sp=show-clips




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

This is why I know this to be the BEST forum on the net. thanks for the quick, precise replies. I can now say killary was lying when she said her husband didn't sign that bill into law. I just now posted that blog on my FB page. one of my left leaning friends posted "BS" to the one I posted this morning.
Now we know its not "BS".

Heard Rush Limbaugh today saying a court decision from 1997 preventing HHS feom holding any minor children more than 20 days before placing them with relatives or in foster care. I didnt catch the name of the decision or which court it came from

Maybe someone here with paid access to Rush's website can look that up

"IIRIRA", eh? That doesn't sound like the kind of legislation Bill would've relished discussing with the media or his fellow Dems. I may be being paranoid, but I wonder if the nearly-unpronounceable acronym was deliberate.
