Bill > S884

This bill, the Stopping Border Surges Act, aims to close loopholes in immigration laws that serve as incentives for aliens to attempt to enter the United States unlawfully. The key provisions include: 1. Repatriating unaccompanied alien children, with exceptions, and providing information to the Department of Homeland Security about individuals with whom unaccompanied alien children are placed. 2. Clarifying standards for family detention, allowing the detention of alien children who are not unaccompanied, and preempting state licensing requirements for immigration detention facilities. 3. Amending the special immigrant juvenile status to require that reunification with any one parent or legal guardian not be precluded by abuse, neglect, abandonment, or similar causes under state law. 4. Reforming the asylum process, including changes to credible fear interviews, jurisdiction of asylum applications, recording of interviews, safe third country provisions, and penalties for asylum fraud.
