Bill > HR3242

This bill, known as the "Punishing Illegal Immigrant Felons Act of 2025", proposes significant changes to immigration law by increasing criminal penalties for undocumented immigrants who enter the United States improperly or commit crimes. Specifically, the bill extends prison sentences for unauthorized entry from 2 to 5 years and adds a mandatory additional 5-year imprisonment for any undocumented immigrant who is subsequently convicted of a crime punishable by more than one year. For immigrants who have previously been removed (deported) from the United States, the bill increases potential prison sentences from 2 to 10 years, and up to 15 years for those removed after committing an aggravated felony or a crime punishable by more than one year. The expanded provisions aim to create stricter consequences for undocumented immigrants who enter the country illegally and subsequently engage in criminal activity, with the intent of deterring unauthorized immigration and repeat offenses by imposing longer mandatory prison sentences.
