The Trump Immigration Act—Let’s start with a clean slate

(The space below has been left intentionally blank. We respectfully suggest that Congress start with a clean slate in enacting THE TRUMP IMMIGRATION ACT that will serve the national interest and is fair to lawful immigrants. Congress must repeal and replace the entire Act which is a leaky cauldron containing an alphabet soup of laws like AEDPA and IIRIRA, is chock-full of grammatical errors, enmeshed in a bundle of self-contradictions, such as using the term “removal” in one place and “deportation’ in another, very harsh on lawful permanent resident aliens who commit petty offenses, and employing big and vague words without defining them like “crime involving moral turpitude” thereby wasting the time of the courts in explaining what they mean often with contradictory results.)
