More than two dozen House Democrats have proposed legislation that aims to end the detention of immigrants at the border, and calls for “alternatives to detention.”

“Immigrants that pose no threat to U.S. security should not have to sit in detention facilities simply because they are too poor to pay bail,” Rep. Jose Serrano, D-N.Y., the lead sponsor of the bill, said in a statement. “The current immigrant detention and bail setting system is not only unfair and inhumane, but it also results in millions in taxpayer money wasted every year holding in detention individuals that don’t belong behind bars.”
