Voices from Detention: Elder Virgilio Gomez López
Congress currently requires 34,000 immigrants be detained daily. The 34,000 bed mandate, essentially a quota system, exacerbates the inhumanity of detention. Most immigrants are incarcerated in appalling conditions, with no knowledge of when or if they will be released. True immigration reform should eliminate the bed mandate. Call your member of Congress and ask them to eliminate the arbitrary 34,000 detention bed quota: (202) 224-3121
El Congreso exige actualmente que 34.000 inmigrantes estén detenidos cada día. El mandato de 34.000 camas de detención, esencialmente un sistema de cuotas, agrava la falta de humanidad en el sistema de detención. La mayoría de los inmigrantes están encarcelados en condiciones deplorables, sin ningún conocimiento de cuándo o si van a ser liberados. Una reforma migratoria verdadera deberia eliminar esta cuota de camas.
Llame a su Congresista y pídale que eliminen la cuota arbitraria de 34.000 camas de detención (202) 224-3121
