This bill, the Protect America First Act, proposes several key provisions to address immigration and border security concerns: It would enact a temporary 4-year moratorium on all foreign immigration to the U.S. until the border is secured, allow for the rapid deportation of inadmissible aliens, mandate the detention and deportation of violent aliens, prohibit federal funding for "sanctuary cities" that do not cooperate with immigration enforcement, empower local law enforcement to assist with immigration enforcement, direct the construction of a border wall, re-assert a zero-tolerance immigration policy, repeal certain recent executive orders related to immigration, rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and Deferred Action for Parental Accountability (DAPA) programs, and prohibit financial aid to Mexico, Central American, and South American countries whose citizens are deported under the provisions of this act.
