WTF! Immigration bill up for vote in House- HS Sec can eliminate all laws

[housewolf]

Wait a sec... there's something important in this Immigration Bill that's being voted on in the House on Thursday that I missed... This is important...

The bill would allow the Homeland Security Secretary to waive ALL LAWS in the construction of immigration barriers.

The bill would give the Homeland Security Secretary “the authority to waive… all laws such Secretary, in such Secretary’s sole discretion, determines necessary to ensure expeditious construction of the barriers and roads under this section.”

The bill also seeks to strip courts from being able to challenge any of the Secretary’s decisions.

“Notwithstanding any other provision of law… no court shall have jurisdiction,” the Republican bill asserts.

The immigration bill would allow Homeland Security to construct barriers along American borders and inside the United States. It would also give the Secretary the authority to ignore labor and environmental laws, as well as refuse compensation for property seized in the construction of such barriers.

The bill also denies immigrants habeas corpus rights and makes it harder for immigrants to achieve asylum. Senior aides in the House expect the bill to pass without significant amendments Thursday.
