Sinema-Tillis bill would allow illegal immigrants to be deported without hearings

Sens. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., and Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., introduced a bipartisan bill to give the Biden administration the authority to almost immediately deport immigrants who cross into the United States illegally. It’s just like Title 42, but unlike the pandemic-era order, it’s not tied to public health.

The Sinema-Tillis bill instructs border agents to begin deportation proceedings for all immigrants they determine crossed illegally, without any further hearing or review. Those deemed inadmissible must be detained until they are deported. The immigrants would be sent back to Mexico and if Mexico can’t take them, they would be sent back to their home country.

[This is what should happen anyway. Unless there’s evidence that border crossers have legal status in the US, they should be immediately sent back across the border, not given a hearing date and free rein to roam around the US. — Ed]
