Bill > HR3855

This bill aims to reform asylum procedures in the United States. The key provisions are: 1. It requires an alien's "credible fear of persecution" to be more probable than not in order to be eligible for asylum, rather than just a "credible" fear. 2. It directs the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to ensure that the questions asked in expedited removal proceedings are done in a uniform manner, and to record interviews in expedited removal and asylum proceedings. 3. If an asylum seeker needs an interpreter, DHS must ensure that a competent interpreter is used who is not affiliated with the government of the country the alien is seeking asylum from. The bill is intended to make the asylum application process more stringent and standardized, while also providing more transparency and protections for asylum seekers during interviews and proceedings.
