Immigration Reform: Stricter Border Control and Parole Rules
This bill significantly alters the process for inspecting individuals seeking admission to the U.S., making parole more difficult and expanding the ability to return migrants to contiguous countries. Citizens may experience impacts on immigration policy and border security, as well as the ability to seek redress for federal government violations.
Key points
Limits the availability of parole for individuals seeking admission to the U.S., except for strictly defined humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit.
Mandates the return of migrants to countries contiguous to the U.S. if authorities cannot detain or remove them to their country of origin.
Allows state attorneys general to sue the federal government for violations of detention, return, or removal requirements, potentially impacting government accountability.
Grants the Secretary of Homeland Security authority to prohibit the entry of certain migrants at land and maritime borders to achieve operational control.
