Mandatory DNA Testing for Families at the Border: Verifying Relationships.
This bill mandates rapid DNA testing for adults and minors attempting to enter the U.S. without authorization who claim to be a family unit. If the test fails to confirm an immediate family relationship, the adults and children will be separated immediately. The goal is to quickly verify whether adults are the actual parents or legal guardians of the accompanying children.
Key points
Introduction of mandatory, rapid DNA testing for every family unit apprehended at the border or ports of entry.
Immediate separation of adults and children if the initial DNA test does not confirm an immediate family relationship.
Children separated from the adults they traveled with will be classified as unaccompanied alien children.
