Restore Fairness: bring back due process to the immigration system

The Restore Fairness documentary is produced by Breakthrough in partnership with 26 leading organizations and calls for the U.S. government to bring back due process and fairness to the immigration system. The video features the powerful voices of Congresswomen Zoe Lofgren and Lucille Roybal-Allard, Judges Dana Marks and Bruce Einhorn, as well as civil society leaders like Anthony Romero, Donald Kerwin, Karen Narasaki and Mallika Dutt. It also gives a human face to harsh immigration laws through three very compelling personal stories - Jean Pierre Kamwa, an asylum seeker who faces mandatory detention, June Everett who lost her sister to immigration detention, and Walter Chavez and Ana Galindo, legal permanent residents who are victims of a warrantless home raid. take action now at www.restorefairness.org.

@REWHBLCAIN This video is not discussing any illegal immigrants you moron. It discusses (legal) immigrants that got deported or die in detention centers because they don't get due process.

@SuperJin1004 No, not at all. My great great grandparents came here through the front door legally so fuck you scumbag!

@SuperJin1004 5:23 the person thnks teh yelling and hitting is because he is minority. FACT: prisons across America have abuse of power screaming and yelling etc..look on yt and see cops beating kids adults elderly, on the streets, in jails, it is in prsion but you do not see it as often because it is hidden unless makes the news, but look in cases, horror story after horror story. It is in general a prison across U.S. for all problem Especially for mentally ill. Poor person's hospital is jail.

@SuperJin1004 4:50. The way to adress the issue is NOT MAKE UP SOME LAWS to make change. The laws to protect are ALREADY THERE. They want to use the housing conditions as a cataylst to create new laws. THAT is political manipulation. The fact is all one has to do is take it to federal court all way to SUP CT if needed, and sue for inhumane conditions under the 8th amendment. WHEN they rule on that, the court can order "change" the ctr conditions. Probably already have cases ruled on the issue.

@SuperJin1004 3:51 This is using a "general" problem of medical care for all U.S. prisoners, to be politically manipulative for reform of the immigration system. Fact is all across the land prisoners are getting poor care and many die irregardless of minority status. lady died not because she was a minority, not because she should not have been detained, but because she didn't receive proper care The family can sue the detention ctr for wrongful death. Just as many prisoners in each state can.

@SuperJin1004 Again, treating a person while incarcerated fairly while detained is expected for ALL. THAT, however, is NOT the sole issue presented int hsi video. It jumps aroudn on teh issues. It complains because she was sick and should not have been detained. THAT is wrong to think that way. Prisoners go to hospitals and are still under detention. They are guarded while incarcerated. So any letter saying she shoudl not be detained is error. Hospitalize if needed whiel detained. As is for all

@SuperJin1004 Getting care while being detained is the issue. NOt should one be detained or not because they are sick. Playing the someone is being tretaed unfairly for being detained while sick is discriminating because they are illegal or a foreigner. IF a person's citizenship is based upon obeying laws or face deportation or prosecution, THAT is what it is. There's political manipulation to make people who expect consequence on all, out to be bad guys because they enforce law.

@SuperJin1004 Ok This may take a few comments but 1 Any person depsite illness IS accountable to crimes. The woman crying syaing depsite her illness she was detained. My point..IF a person commits a crime they are prosecutable despite any illness. People die in prison every day. There are diseased people who commit crimes or are accused of crimes awaiting evaluation of guilt or innocence. JUST because a person is sick does NOT exclude them from being detained. The issue is getting care while in

@SuperJin1004 .Please be aware this has been two months since I have watched this video to the time you just responded so please allow me to revisit to further comment. But at no time have I implied a person can be treated inhumanely while detained for any reason. Please revisit my comment as I do not see any comment on allowing inhumane treatment. Your implying that seems erroneous.
