Nope, this should kill the bill:

“(5) BOND DETERMINATION.—In the case that an immigration judge makes a determination to release an alien on bond under subsection (a)(1)(B)(i), the immigration judge shall consider, for purposes of setting the amount of the bond, the alien’s financial resources and ability to pay the bond without imposing financial hardship on the alien.

Essentially, this is saying that if someone is unable to afford a bond of over $10 that means the bond must be no more than $10.

Looks like it has some decent provisions so far.

Well bonds are supposed to motivate people to come in, not bankrupt them.

The media is keeping this quiet, but regardless, the Senate won’t pass it and the prez won’t sign it.

But, it appears to be aimed at the illegal immigrant vote.

No bond should be set at less than the typical amount needed to locate and recapture them if they fail to show up for court.

I costs a fugitive nothing simply not to show up for a court date.

For those who have doubted my claims that we are now and have for awhile been in a Dark Age, I present this bill.

This is how the end of America happens, and how we get forced to either go to UTOPIA or else get thrown overboard along the way.....this is our wannbe overlords telling us that Americans have no right to decide who comes to America, that anyone who wants to come must be allowed to come.

I didn't read any further than this...

...and I knew that I cannot support this bill. I don't think anyone but Democrats will support this bill, either.

There is no reason to tie DHS's hands with this nonsense except to make it harder for them to detain illegal aliens. Screw that.

Just because you are team liberal doesn't mean you have to participate and argue in every crazy liberal idea thread. Do yourself a favor. Sit this one out, you'll thank me later.
