Open Border activists are sending this e-mail which informs about that Senators Menendez and Kennedy will introduce a bill to give every illegal alien due process if he/she is detained by I.C.E.. This will surely make it more difficult for ICE to deport illegal aliens since all of them will have to be given due process rights.

Immigration agents have entered people’s homes during pre-dawn hours and have detained everyone living there including U.S. citizen children.

[b]Workers arrested in ICE raids have been deprived access to immigration counsel. U.S. citizens have languished in immigration detention facilities across the country, and at least one U.S.-born citizen was deported to Mexico illegally. The bill affords vital due process provisions including access to counsel, humanitarian accommodations, improved detention standards, and promotes an “alternatives to immigration detentionâ€
