    Squad” member Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., and Rep. Jesús Chuy Garcia, D-Ill., hosted a Facebook live video conference on Tuesday in support of their vision to transform the U.S. immigration system by expanding protections for noncitizens.

    The pair reintroduced legislation known as the “New Way Forward Act” during the event, where Japayal said it is not enough to simply reverse the “hateful” immigration policies of Donald Trump’s administration.

    “We have to deliver on a real, humane reform of our immigration system,” Jayapal said. “America’s racist, xenophobic … immigration system has been broken for decades.”

    Jayapal said the legislation advances racial justice, keeps families together and protects due process for everyone.

    ACTING DHS SECRETARY WARNS DEMOCRAT-BACKED NEW WAY FORWARD ACT WOULD ‘GUT THE RULE OF LAW’

    The bill would end mandatory detention of immigrants without bail release, ban for-profit immigration jails, and no longer allow the automatic deportation of immigrants who have had contact with the criminal legal system for things like drug convictions

    It also decriminalizes border crossings with an eye towards the broader goals of restoring due process to the immigration system and disrupting the prison to deportation pipeline.

    OK. I knew or at least strongly suspected, the Democrats wants to destroy America as we know and love... but even cynical me is shocked by just how fast they’re going about it.

    Not criminal to illegally cross United States National borders? Not even a misdemeanor? WTF, Democrats..

    I wouldn't worry too much.

    As long as the Dems. still need 60 votes in the Senate, it is probably DOA.

    Tl;Dr--"Squad BAD!"

    Squad is bad. They've basically with this bill declared that they are abdicating their responsibility to the nation and continue to put non-citizens over citizens of the country, calling it 'racist and xenophobic' to do their duty to this country. A question I'd love to pose to them: Why did you run if you didn't want to govern?

    I'd love to write a bill that would reduce all government salaries to 50,000 MAX. That would utterly get these people out of Washington.

    Do they have to take a COVID test and then quarantine for 14 days and THEY have to pay that expense?

    Worse thank that. The squad believes, THEY are the real Americans and not us and thus have an inalienable right to come to America.

    The squad is the soul and spirit of the Democrats. Every Democrat is aspires to be the member of the squad.

    The Italians have contributed the culture, technology, fine arts and countless other achievement (mafia, too) of the Western civilization.

    What have the hordes of Illegal Aliens, coming across the Southern borders contributed?

    Native Americans, AKA Indians, failed to take a concerted, aggressive, and unified action against invaders. And look what happened to them.

    Can you reference defined limits and territories of the Sioux nation? It's capital? Its immigration policies?

    What's your point? I take it you support not criminalizing illegal border crossings which means by having a border and border patrol we're preventing illegals from doing something that is now legal. That means you support open borders.

    for the children that have lived here all their lives through no fault of their own, agree, let them stay

    the rest goes too far... but maybe intentional to meet half way.. .both sides ask for more than they will get, so they can give a little later

    Nope. I've always opposed illegal immigration. My issue is those who act like their ancestors didn't arrive from somewhere else. The "real" Americans ancestors were no different.

    Is there any other country in the world that has an open border and offers such sweet government benefits when you get here like the US?

    Don't care where they came from as long as they came legally, like my mother and her parents.
