House GOP Finds Everything Wrong With Immigration Law And Tries to Make It Worse - COLORLINES: "After acting for months like the delinquent little cousin of the Senate, the House Judiciary Committee will finally take up immigration reform tomorrow when it considers a bill introduced on Friday by Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-SC. But unlike the Senate immigration reform package that would legalize millions of undocumented immigrants while also expanding border and workplace enforcement, the Gowdy bill does only the later, and in the worst way. The SAFE Act, as it’s called, would vastly expand immigration enforcement programs, curtail legal rights of non-citizens and authorize state and local law enforcement to act like immigration agents whenever they want to.
“The SAFE Act is a callous assault on immigrants and will just lead to more detentions and deportations,” says Silky Shah of Detention Watch Network. “It would allow for the prolonged detention of thousands of immigrants and require expansion of detention.”"
