She then calls the Administration on the carpet for insisting on closed deportation hearings and for eroding mechanisms of accountability by nullifying releaase orders and limiting administrative review.

Finally, Murphy blasts the Administration for alienating the immigrant community by using local law enforcement officers to enforce immigration laws, conducting "voluntary" interviews of Arab and Muslim males; requiring special registration of Arab and Muslim males, and conducting security sweeps that target undocumented workers instead of terrorists.

Murphy calls upon the Administration to use a different approach, one that assures security and liberty for everyone in this nation of immigrants. She makes specific proposals and concludes with:

By working together to find solutions to immigration enforcement that respect civil liberties and fundamental values, we can avoid the false choice between civil liberties and safety. By abandoning false solutions that target immigrants, not terrorists, America can remain safe, free, and true to its fundamental values as a nation of immigrants.
