House Judiciary Committee debates SAFE Act that would criminalize the act of being undocumented, which includes visa overstays

Yesterday, the House Judiciary Committee had an open hearing where they debated the Strengthen and Fortify Enforcement Act (SAFE Act).  The SAFE Act criminalizes the act of being undocumented, which includes visa overstays.  

The legislation will also all increase Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers by 5,000 and permits State and local government to enforce federal immigration laws, as well as permitting the arrest and indefinite detention of immigrants in privately owned federal detention centers.
