- Amnesty International Usa Voices Serious Concerns About Federal Immigration Proposal Priorities
WASHINGTON, April 30 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Amnesty International USA voiced serious concerns today regarding priorities for a comprehensive immigration reform (CIR) bill proposed by U.S. Senators Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), Charles Schumer (D-NY), Richard Durbin (D-IL), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Robert Menendez (D-NJ). A draft version of the bill summary touts increased border patrol, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel and penalties for immigration status-related crimes. However, it pays little attention to long-needed reform of ICE's unnecessary home- invasion style enforcement operations, targeting and often terrorizing undocumented persons.
