Mandatory Implementation of Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) at the Border.

This bill amends immigration law to make the use of the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), commonly known as the "Remain in Mexico" policy, mandatory. This means asylum seekers arriving at the U.S. border must wait outside the United States while their cases are processed. The change aims to standardize and tighten border procedures, potentially impacting national security and the management of migrant flows.
Key points
The "Remain in Mexico" policy becomes mandatory for asylum seekers arriving at the border.
The government loses discretion regarding the implementation of the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP); they become a permanent requirement.
