DETAIN & DEPORT ALIEN GANG-BANGERS!
By Juan Mann · June 28, 2005 12:51 AM

Good news: there’s a bill in Congress to detain and deport aliens based on their membership in known dangerous street gangs and criminal organizations.


Bad news: Congress expects the federal immigration litigation bureaucracy of the Department of Justice’s Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) and the federal circuit courts of appeal to actually carry out the bill and order aliens deported under its new charges.


“The Alien Gang Removal Act of 2005,”H.R. 2933 [PDF] – introduced in the House of Representatives on June 16 by J. Randy Forbes (R-VA) – currently has fourteen cosponsors, now including California Democrat Maxine Waters.


Hearings on H.R. 2933 will be held before the House Judiciary Committee’s Immigration, Border Security and Claims subcommittee on Tuesday at 3 p.m. at the Rayburn House Office Building, room 2141. Along with Rep. Forbes, legal heavy-hitters Kris W. Kobach, Associate Professor of Law, University of Missouri Kansas City; and Michael M. Hethmon, Staff Attorney, Federation of American Immigration Reform, are scheduled to testify.


Get a sneak peek on the good and the bad of H.R. 2933 in my latest column on VDARE.com, as well as my armchair legislative analysis and proposed amendments to make it better.


The bill would seek to deport known alien gang-bangers and drug cartel foot-soldiers – who happen to be otherwise in the U.S. legally with a “green card” or non-immigrant visa – even if the aliens have not been convicted of a specific removable crime under current immigration law.
