That is really an overreach on this bill that none of us should agree with. There is another way this would work, which is an adjustment of status. Let's give this example: your son marries a woman from another country who is here on a legal visa, but she is part of a church that is providing sanctuary for a DREAMer. She is, therefore, suspected as being part of this criminal gang, a group of five or more, that is harboring this undocumented person. When your son goes to petition for his now-wife to become a legal permanent resident, she is going to be denied, and it is a reasonable- belief standard, not the higher standard that Mr. Goodlatte has tried to impose.
