Build the Wall and Deport Them All Act: Permanent Border Security and Citizenship Limits

This Act converts several executive orders and policies from 2017-2019 regarding border security and immigration into permanent federal law. This means a lasting tightening of deportation procedures, ending the 'catch and release' policy, and permanently implementing the 'Remain in Mexico' rule. The most significant change for citizens is the limitation of automatic birthright citizenship, requiring at least one parent to be a citizen, national, or lawful permanent resident of the U.S.
Key points
Limitation on Birthright Citizenship: Children born in the U.S. will not automatically receive citizenship unless at least one parent is a U.S. citizen, national, or lawful permanent resident.
Permanent Border Security: Enacts into law the construction of the border wall and prohibits federal agencies from removing or altering state-constructed border barriers.
Ending 'Catch and Release': The 'catch and release' policy is permanently ended, and the 'Remain in Mexico' policy (Migrant Protection Protocols) is codified into law.
Interior Immigration Enforcement: Codifies measures aimed at ending 'sanctuary cities' and enhancing the enforcement of immigration laws within the United States.
