Finally, the bill would help correct a number of other problems, including retroactive application use of immigration laws. Immigration decisions are life-altering and must be undertaken with great care. Deportation or detention can separate a person from her family and from all that makes life worth living. Mandatory and indefinite detention are perhaps the most flagrant, unfair deprivations of liberty possible. Judicial review of the decisions of immigration officials provides this essential due process protection.
Time is short.
Congress should adopt this legislation now to provide due process and ensure fairness for all on American soil.
