DEMOCRAT LAWMAKERS SAY LAW NOT JUSTIFIED REGARDLESS OF AMERICANS KILLED
Wednesday’s House Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on Immigration Policy and Enforcement focused on the Scott Gardner Act – a bill sponsored by Rep. Sue Myrick (R-NC) which seeks to deport illegal immigrants on their first offense of driving while intoxicated. In the Gardner Act (HR 3808), the inquiry about legal status takes place after the individual has been arrested for driving while intoxicated and the arresting officer has “reasonable grounds” to believe the individual is an illegal immigrant. If determined to be illegal, the individual would be transferred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for deportation.
