Border Crisis Act: Resuming Wall Construction and Tightening Asylum Procedures.
This Act aims to significantly tighten border control by immediately resuming construction of the border wall system and increasing the staffing levels of Border Patrol and ICE. It mandates the return or detention of migrants arriving from contiguous territories and restores the exclusive authority of immigration judges over asylum claims. Citizens should expect increased federal spending on border security infrastructure and personnel.
Key points
Immediate resumption of border wall system construction using all previously appropriated funds.
Mandatory minimum staffing levels for Border Patrol (25,000 agents) and ICE/CBP officers.
Extension of the Title 42 expulsion authority and mandatory detention or return of migrants arriving from Mexico.
Nullification of rules allowing asylum officers to handle claims, restoring exclusive jurisdiction to immigration judges.
