AI Summary

This bill aims to address the border crisis in several ways. It would extend the Title 42 expulsion authority, which allows the government to quickly expel migrants at the border due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It would also resume the construction of the border wall system along the U.S.-Mexico border that was previously underway. The bill would preserve the exclusive authority of immigration judges over asylum claims, overriding a proposed rule that would have allowed asylum officers to make some of these decisions. Additionally, the bill would codify the Migrant Protection Protocols, which required some asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico during their immigration proceedings.
