- The ACLU and other civil rights groups filed a class-action lawsuit against federal authorities demanding they reform the immigration detention system to help mentally ill detainees. A Human Rights Watch report from July detailed problems for the mentally ill in immigration custody, who often spend years in detention because they lack legal counsel.
- More states and cities are considering their own immigration bills.
- No senators joined Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on his push to change the 14th Amendment to remove automatic citizenship for babies born in the U.S. to illegal immigrants, but Mitch McConnell, John McCain, Jon Kyl, Tom Coburn and Chuck Grassley said they would support hearings to look into the issue of “birth tourism.” Russ Feingold (D-Wis.), who chairs the subcommittee that would theoretically look into the issue, said he does not plan to hold hearings.
- Independent analysis released Monday shows the Department of Homeland Security deported a record number of criminal illegal immigrants this year. The DHS under Obama prioritizes immigration enforcement for people deemed dangerous criminals — and it appears to be working. “The stated immigration policy is actually being followed,” said David Burnham, co-director of Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, which performed the study.
- Kris Kobach, a lawyer who helped draft Arizona’s SB 1070 immigration law, defeated two candidates Tuesday to become the Republican nominee for Kansas secretary of state.
- The Department of Justice threatened to sue Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio for failing to hand over documents for a civil rights investigation, but a lawyer for Arpaio said Thursday that he plans to cooperate with parts of the probe.
- The Senate passed a $600 million emergency funding bill for border security Thursday, disappointing immigrants rights groups who hoped to see them focus on comprehensive immigration reform instead. Although Republicans have said they want to see measures to increase border security before they will support other immigration reform, experts on both sides of the debate said the bill won’t help the odds of a reform bill this year.

Republicans who oppose comprehensive immigration reform prior to enforcement are not keeping their word? Now that they got their enforcement just like they wanted, where are they now to start working on a bar-partisan way to fix our broken system? lets see them do their part now.

Their part is to PROTECT the people from the USA. It is NOT their job to grant amnesty to illegals.

Their job is to solve the problem this country is facing.Their job is ti sit down with democratsb and work together on senssible workable solution which will respect humans and will be good for America. The name of this solution is COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM. It's not their job play politics at cost the cost of immigrants and ethnic minorities. What republicans are doing is disgusting. Thanks

So funny to see how people asking for amnesty try to put euphemisms on it. Mike's “respect humans” jive means “let's be nice to unskilled people who snuck over our borders or (more often) overstayed their visas”. Why do we have to be nice to people who did that? Just slowly ramp up the enforcement regime and they will self-deport–as indeed they are already doing in places that are trying it, such as AZ (starting with the employment law).

With huge and rising unemployment, what a perfect time to legalize a vast number of new people low in skills and high in need. That’s a super idea.
Also, with our huge budget deficits putting our economy on the brink of a disaster a la Greece, legalizing millions more unskilled and uneducated people and giving them immediate eligibility to receive our huge range of government social services is really smart (especially since almost all illegals will be among the 40% of people who pay no federal income taxes at all. Adding $120B to the deficit that may be about to put us into a death spiral–that's really thinking!
Also how cool that they will become eligible to bring in their children, uncles, nieces, parents, etc. Plenty of these folks need kidney transplants and bypass surgery and so forth––we can pay for all that stuff too!

White folks, black folks, Latino folks, Asian folks and so on are immigrants. We are all from immigrant descents.The only ones that should be talking this topic -but are not, are the First People of the America's. That's right! Native Indians. Why all of a sudden we speak as if we were the first ones here in the U.S. Lets wake up and smell the truth. We have a broken system and that not only through enforcement could be fixed due to humanitarian reasons. God bless you all.

Hello
Every Year 50,000 Visas only on Lottery basses, 65,000 H1 Visas, 20,000 H2 Visas and rest from A to Z visas every visas 20,000 to 50,000 so totally how many visas are giving every year (among lottery basses – they don't know English to write and speak – that too non Christians) Spanish are Christians and they are harm less so why Americans are afraid of giving amnesty to brotherhood, hardworking, helping communities (clean to tech – keep like America). If they stop giving all visas 1 or 2 years that's solve the problem, the new visas take American jobs (White collar (Not Hard WORKING) not illegals. This is all political game, but they are passionating the issue according to them, PEOPLE of America don't believe in politicians game, think like humanitarian and help illegal – immigrants to get into better lives – GOD BLESS YOU and AMERICA
