Bill 119 HR 1928, also known as the "Private Enforcement of Immigration Laws Act," aims to allow private individuals and organizations to enforce immigration laws in the United States. The bill seeks to empower citizens to take legal action against individuals or entities that are believed to be violating immigration laws.Under this legislation, individuals and organizations would have the ability to file lawsuits against employers who hire undocumented immigrants, landlords who rent to undocumented immigrants, and individuals who aid in human trafficking or smuggling. The bill also includes provisions for the creation of a hotline for reporting suspected immigration violations.
Supporters of the bill argue that allowing private enforcement of immigration laws will help to reduce illegal immigration and protect American jobs. They believe that by giving citizens the ability to take legal action against those who break immigration laws, it will serve as a deterrent to potential violators. Opponents of the bill, however, raise concerns about potential abuse and discrimination. They worry that allowing private individuals to enforce immigration laws could lead to racial profiling and harassment of immigrants, both legal and undocumented. Critics also argue that the bill could strain the resources of the legal system and lead to an increase in frivolous lawsuits. Overall, Bill 119 HR 1928 is a controversial piece of legislation that seeks to address immigration enforcement through private means. It remains to be seen how this bill will be received and whether it will ultimately be passed into law.
