Incredible: The House GOP DACA bill would criminalize legalized Dreamers if they failed to maintain an income insufficiently above the poverty line https://www.cato.org/blog/securing-americas-future-act-net-negative-immigration-system …

10. Here's that paragraph from the article:

https://www.cato.org/blog/securing-americas-future-act-net-negative-immigration-system

The worst enforcement provision is criminalizing simply being in the United States without status or violating any aspect of civil immigration law (p. 170). This would turn millions of unauthorized immigrants into criminals overnight. It would also criminalize legal immigrants who fail to update their addresses, carry their green card with them at all times, or otherwise abide by the million inane regulations that Congress imposes on them. Take, for example, the status provided to Dreamers in this bill. It requires them to maintain an annual income of at least 125 percent of the poverty line (p. 396). If they fall below that level for 90 days—not only are they subject to deportation again—they would be criminals. This bill literally criminalizes poverty among Dreamers. This legislation would immediately undo much of the progress that the Feds have made on criminal justice reform and reducing its prison population.
