Voting analysis

One of Jennifer McClellan's bills would establish a system to track and report every instance in which a citizen or lawful permanent resident is detained or removed for immigration enforcement purposes. The premise is that this happens, that it is not currently counted, and that a number would change the argument. Bills demanding a count rather than a remedy are a distinct and underrated legislative form.
