A few notes:
- This still needs to pass the Senate and be signed by the President to become law
- If it does become law, it allows deportation based on accusation, rather than conviction
- Current law requires allows for deportation if convicted of two different non-violent crimes

So innocent until proven guilty… Unless you’re an immigrant.
