I rise in opposition to the Community Protection Act of 2006. H.R. 6094. H.R. 6094 will not protect United States borders. strengthen our national security. or address the Nations immigration problems comprehensively. Instead of voting on H.R. 6094 and other bills that raise a few issues on a piecemeal basis. we should be going to conference to resolve the differences between the House and Senate immigration reform bills that have already passed. The Community Protection Act would permit indefinite detention of aliens who are considered dangerous and are waiting for the execution of a final order of deportation. The most common reason for a delay in executing the order is difficult in obtaining travel documents that authorize the aliens admission to another country. I object to the practice of indefinite detention for a number of reasons. but the one that concerns me most is the possibility that people will spend the rest of their lives in detention simply because they are viewed as being dangerous.
