Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to modify the definition of unauthorized alien.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the definition of an unauthorized alien in the Immigration and Nationality Act by removing the phrase "or by the Attorney General" from Section 274A(h)(3). The change appears to narrow the authority for determining unauthorized alien status, potentially limiting who can make such a designation. By removing the Attorney General's role in defining unauthorized aliens, the bill may change how immigration status is determined and enforced. While the bill's text is brief, its implications could be significant for immigration enforcement and the legal classification of non-citizens in the United States. The bill's short title, the "Domestic Jobs Protection Act," suggests an intent to protect domestic employment opportunities, though the precise mechanism for doing so is not explicitly detailed in the provided text.
