Republican bill targets migrants who re-enter US illegally with mandatory 10-year sentences

A new Republican bill proposes mandatory 10-year sentences for migrants who re-enter the U.S. illegally, drawing criticism for its harsh penalties on non-violent offenses. This legislation reflects a significant shift in immigration policy, emphasizing punitive measures over reform. Critics argue that it represents a move towards mass incarceration, raising concerns about the impact on families and communities. The bill is part of a broader GOP strategy to deter unauthorized immigration, but many believe it could lead to unjust consequences for vulnerable populations.
