Bill Summary
A BILL To authorize the Secretary of Homeland Security to suspend the entry of aliens, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Secretary of Homeland Security to suspend the entry of certain aliens (referred to as "covered aliens") at the U.S. borders if the Secretary determines it is necessary to achieve operational control over the border. The bill also requires the Secretary to prohibit the entry of covered aliens if the Secretary cannot detain or place them in a specific immigration program as required by law. The bill allows state attorneys general to bring legal action against the Secretary for violations that affect their state or residents. The key terms defined in the bill include "covered alien" (referring to those inadmissible under section 212(a)(7) of the Immigration and Nationality Act) and "operational control" (as defined in the Secure Fence Act of 2006).
