If you will look at the dissenting views in our report on this measure. there may be 20 to 40 different reasons that we do not like the bill. So rather than take all that time up. what I want to talk about is the one that offends me the most. and that is the criminalizing of unlawful presence. Now. this. alone. should turn away a majority of the House. There are roughly 11 million undocumented individuals in the United States who. under sections 203 and 201 of this bill. would be subject to mandatory detention if convicted of a crime of being unlawfully in the United States. First time in history. Are you ready for this?
