Migration Control: States' Role and Enhanced Vetting for Non-Asylum Aliens

It mandates notifying governors about plans to house or transfer aliens within their states and requires thorough biometric and biographic data checks against national and international law enforcement databases. Governors gain the final authority to approve or deny the placement of these individuals in their states.
