The New Way Forward Act was written by Democrat Jesus Garcia (D-Illinois), whose name appears as Jesus 'Chuy' Garcia on the government website. Chuy is pronounced 'chewy'.
Text - H.R.5383 - 116th Congress (2019-2020): New Way Forward Act | Congress.gov | Library of Congress
Some of highlights of the bill should shock you. If passed and signed into law, the bill would effectively do away with deportations of criminal illegal immigrants, and require US tax payers to buy airplane tickets to fly convicted and deported foreigners back into the US.
• Section 701: "The Right to Come Home."
Anyone deported after 1996 has the right to new deportation proceedings subject to the law as defined by the New Way Forward Act.
• Section 102, P3: "Presumption of Release"
Immigration judges would be required to begin hearings with the presumption that the alien will not be detained, but rather freed - even if they've been convicted of a crime in the U.S., or have pending charges against them.
• Section 102, P5: "Bond Determination"
If an illegal alien is freed on bond, the amount of the bond will be decided by the "alien’s financial resources and ability to pay the bond without imposing financial hardship on the alien."
(You don't have that privilege as U.S. citizen)
• Section 102, P6: "Special Rules" for Vulnerable People
The following people can't be detained by immigration authorities:
- Anyone who identifies as LGBT
- Non-English speakers (
- Anyone younger than 21 or older than 60
• Section 102 (f)(2)(b):
- Disallows law enforcement from questioning anyone about their legal status
- Does not allow law enforcement (like Border Patrol) *to stop aliens from crossing the border illegally even if they're watching it happen.*
• Section 201(3)(A): Statute of limitations on deportations.
Would prohibit an undocumented immigrant who has lived in the US for 5 years or more from being deported.
This applies retroactively, so anyone who's already been here illegally for 5 years gets amnesty.
• Section 302(c)(i):
For the purpose of deportation, immigration judges consider whether a "serious crime" has been committed.
This section defines a "serious crime" only as one that resulted in a conviction and prison a sentence of more than five years.
• Section 501 imposes the same rules used by sanctuary cities (local law enforcement prohibited from helping federal immigration authorities)... for the *entire country.*
It makes every state a "sanctuary state."
And on & on it goes. The bill has 44 co-sponsors, who I'll name in my next post. Why are CNN, Fox, and MSNBC not talking about this?
