    But now reading some about the Dignity Act, it isn't very appealing to your regular illegal immigrant. It only offers temporary protected status, so they would still be subject to the whims of the Administration. To come out of the shadows and register with the government for a temporary status might just put you on ICE's radar to get deported later. So even if it somehow got passed, I think the effort to normalize status for "the good ones" :rolleyes: would probably fall flat. It might just be a Trojan Horse to get some Dem votes for more enforcement. But, I do like that it tries to address some of the plumbing in immigration enforcement, though I don't know if I'd like how they address it.

    Going after criminal:

    Meenu Batra is a longtime immigration court interpreter specializing in Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu who has worked with the U.S. immigration system for over 20 years. She was allowed to remain in the United States under “withholding of removal” due to persecution in India, which let her legally work for the government as a contract interpreter.

    She has been in detention since March 17. Authorities have not said where she would be deported, but because of her legal status, she cannot be sent back to India and would instead have to be sent to a third country willing to accept her.

    Longtime Immigration Court Interpreter Arrested by ICE at South Texas Airport
    The state’s only licensed Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu legal interpreter is now languishing in a Raymondville detention center. She’s lived in America for 35 years.

    Last month, Meenu Batra, 53, who has lived in the South Texas border colonia of Laguna Heights since 2002, was on her way to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to work another case. She’s been a court interpreter for over 20 years, the only one licensed in Texas for Hindi, Punjabi, or Urdu. Her language skills are requested nationwide, where she’s contracted to help people making their way through the immigration court system, just as she did for herself 35 years ago when she immigrated from India to New Jersey before settling in Texas.

    Trump Has Cut Legal Immigration More Than Illegal Immigration | Cato

    These cuts to legal immigration are harming US citizens seeking to reunite with their spouses, fiancés, children, and other relatives. They are also undermining US prosperity and increasing the US deficit. But they also illustrate the central misconception about the Trump administration’s immigration agenda.

    It is not about stopping “illegal” immigration. It is a broader assault on all types of immigration. As Americans debate the path forward on immigration, that’s a reality everyone should understand.
