4/1/15 AILA Doc. No. 15032602. Congress

On March 27, 2015, one anti-immigration amendment was voted into the budget resolution: Amendment 360 sponsored by Senator McCain which seeks to deter unaccompanied immigrant children from coming to the U.S. by undermining protections for such children and subjecting them to expedited removal process that provide almost no due process was included into the Senate budget resolution.

On 3/25/15, Senators introduced various amendments to the Budget Resolution. There were several anti-immigration amendments that have been presented.

AILA submitted vote recommendations on immigration amendments to legislators letting them know that we oppose enforcement-only amendments that present no solution on immigration, require unnecessary and excessive spending on the border security, and interfere with the Executive Branch's clear legal authority to implement reforms to the immigration system.
