Bill > HR3857

This bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to reform asylum procedures related to the filing of frivolous applications. The key provisions include: 1. Requiring the Secretary of Homeland Security or the Attorney General to ensure that a written warning appears on the asylum application advising the applicant of the consequences of filing a frivolous application. 2. Permanently ineligifying an alien for any benefits under the Immigration and Nationality Act if the Secretary or Attorney General determines that the alien has knowingly filed a frivolous asylum application, after the alien has received the required written warning. 3. Defining a "frivolous" asylum application as one that is clearly insufficient in substance and filed solely or in part to delay removal, seek employment authorization, or pursue Cancellation of Removal, or contains any knowingly fabricated material elements. 4. Allowing the use of statements made to, and investigative reports prepared by, immigration authorities and other government officials in making asylum and removal credibility determinations.
