Justice for the Immigrants!

According to Justice for Immigrants, the proposed laws for immigrants currently are the H.R. 4437, the Border Protection, Anti-Terrorism, and the Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005. In fact, all these laws were passed through the House of Representative on December 16, 2005. It is said that if any undocumented immigrants commit a crime or a felony they would have to go to jail for a period of time. In addition to that, the immigrant would not be allowed to re-enter into the country or do future legal status. Part of the H.R. 4437 is that if any certain people enter the United States such as, immigrants, victims of human trafficking, victims of domestic abuse, or "children who are apprehended along an internation border", will be avoided to enter the United States for a certain time as they are being kicked out of the country. In California and Arizona the law proposes to grant $2.2 billion to build double-layer border fences. The law also states that it will eliminate the Diversity Visa program, which gives visas to immigrants that are underrepresented in the immigration system.

The H.R. 4437 has restricted that any organization needs to see documents of anyone entering the United States. If they don't obey this law then they would have a penalty of five years in prison. For example, "church peronnel who provide shelter or other basic needs assitance to an undocumented individual."
