Washington, DC - Congressman Bob Filner has introduced the Keeping Families Together Act, H.R. 938. The bill would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act in three main ways:

1) reinstate judicial review to the immigration process, 2) end the practice of automatically detaining productive members of our society for minor crimes they committed years ago and for which they have already served with their sentence, and 3) allow immigrants previously deported to appeal that decision.

“The existing law tears apart stable, long-term families headed by legal immigrants because of minor crimes committed years ago - crimes for which the offender has already served their sentence!â€
