Campaign Unavailable

We're sorry, this alert is no longer available.

The short explanation of this alert was:

On Thursday, December 8, 2005 the House Judiciary Committee passed Chairman Sensenbrenner's anti-immigrant bill, the Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005 (HR 4437). Extreme provisions buried in the bill go beyond targeting immigrants here illegally to targeting legal immigrants, citizens, and those applying for citizenship.

The bill strikes at civil liberties by taking away basic rights like a day in court and a meaningful defense. The employment verification and border security provisions are unrealistic and overly aggressive and would do more harm than good.
