I offer this amendment to recommit to reveal the flaws in the bill. The sponsor of this bill, Mrs. Comstock and I both represent northern Virginia, and she and I both want to eliminate gang violence. MS-13 is a menace to society, and I endorse the goal of destroying it through legal means, but this bill wouldn't do that. This bill will promote widespread racial profiling. It will violate First Amendment protections. It will expand mandatory detention of immigrants. It will raise serious constitutional questions on judicial review of government designation of certain groups. And it bars humanitarian relief for individuals in violation of international treaties.
