BORDER SECURITY
POLICY PROPOSAL
T H E C U R R E N T T H E N E W S Y S T E M : S Y S T E M : C A T C H D E T A I N & R E L E A S E
& D E P O R T

The new border security authorities will put powerful new tools in the border security toolbox of any
administration willing to secure the border. It will also set real limits on the current administration to
stop the abuse of parole and prevent our nation from ever having 10,000 people a day crossing
illegally or a record month like December 2023 again.

ENDS PAROLE CATCH-AND-RELEASE FIASCO AT THE BORDER

Ends Biden’s use of catch-and-release through the CBPOne app to hand out work permits for free along the
southwest border.

The definition of humanitarian parole is clarified to stop the daily flagrant abuse of the authority at the border.
This change alone will stop over half-a-million border crossings every year.

MANDATES A COMPLETE SHUTDOWN OF THE BORDER

Creates a new mandatory Border Emergency Authority that will protect our nation from having another
month like September, October, November or December 2023, when more than 10,000 people a day
crossed the southern border.

The new Border Emergency Authority is even stronger than the Title 42 Authority used during the Trump
Administration because it also includes new legal consequences for anyone who tries to return after
deported.

No more massive caravans of migrants flowing over the border day after day.
Allows law enforcement in America to control the border, not the criminal cartels in Mexico.
Changes the default when the border is overrun from releasing everyone into the country to deporting
everyone out of the country. When the average number of crossings exceeds 5,000 people a week (which it
has every week but one in the past four months) everyone crossing illegally everyday is rapidly deported out
of the country without an asylum screening. In the past four months almost a million people have crossed our
border. If this law had been in place four months ago, all of them would have been deported out of the country,
rather than released into the country.

When the border closes, it stays closed and everyone is deported every day until the number of people
crossing illegally drops. Once the number of encounters drop, the border continues to stay closed for up to
an additional two weeks to continue to drive the numbers down; It closes the border when we exceed our
capacity to detain and deport so no one is released into the US because of the crowd.

D E T A I N & D E P O R T 1
IMPOSES IMMEDIATE CONSEQUENCES FOR
ILLEGAL CROSSING

Removal is carried out in days or weeks, not years.

Prevents the administration from handing out work permits for simply crossing at a port of entry.

Provides 50,000 detention beds, more ICE agents, more deportation flights, and more asylum officers to
keep more people in custody while processing.

If 50,000 beds is not enough to hold people during their processing, a new expedited removal authority is
created which allows for faster processing and fewer appeals outside of custody in weeks, not years. No
more 10 year releases in the US before their hearing.

REVOLUTIONARY CHANGE IN THE ASYLUM SCREENING

Prohibits illegal migrants who could have relocated within their home country from being eligible for asylum in
the US.

Bars criminal aliens from getting through the first asylum screening at the border.

Bars any alien that re-settled or could have re-settled in another country on the way to the United States.
Raises the standard for evidence of persecution to the higher Trump Administration’s “reasonable possibility”
standard. This alone will dramatically reduce the number of people allowed through the asylum screening
process.

Combines three separate screenings to make the process faster at the border: Credible Fear (asylum),
Convention Against Torture (CAT), and Withholding of Removal. This will quickly send illegal migrants who do
not qualify for asylum back to their home country, instead of being released into the US for seemingly endless
appeals and hearings.

Each of these changes would reduce dramatically the number of people eligible to even apply for asylum, but
together they will be a powerful tool for any administration willing to enforce the law.

PROVIDES NEW EXPEDITED REMOVAL AUTHORITY TO
ENSURE ILLEGAL MIGRANTS ARE REMOVED WITHIN 90 DAYS

Currently, most illegal migrants are processed without screening, released into the interior for 10 or more
years, and placed into a 3 million case backlog—that ends with this bill.

The new expedited removal authority ensures that every illegal alien who crosses the border is either
detained or tracked. Some family groups are hard to detain, so those groups will have alternative to
detention, fast hearings and one limited appeal.

Those who do not qualify will be removed.

2
BUILDS THE WALL

Provides $650 million to build and reinforce miles and miles of new border wall.

It also withholds the majority of the wall money to be used during the next administration.

PROHIBITS CRIMINALS FROM OBTAINING ASYLUM

Under current law, a criminal alien could wait 10 or more years in the asylum backlog before being denied
and sent home.

Rather than allowing these criminal aliens to be caught, released, and remain at large in the US this bill
will deny and deport these criminal aliens immediately after they cross the border.

RADICAL CHANGE FROM CATCH AND RELEASE
TO ENFORCE AND DEPORT

Increases Border Patrol recruitment and streamlines hiring.

Funding for more ICE Agents and ICE detention beds.

Funding for effective mandatory monitoring.

Funding for ICE removal operations (flights and buses back home).

Uses direct hire procedures to increase ICE deportation officers and enforcement and removal
personnel to ensure that illegal migrants can be quickly repatriated to their home countries.

THE NEW BORDER SECURITY BILL DOES
NOT INCLUDE AMNESTY OF ANY KIND.
D E T A I N & D E P O R T
-------------------

Plus, the bill has millions in funding for High-Tech Fentanyl scanners at our points of entry....1,500 more CBP officers as well as more ICE agents. You can quibble if you'd like regarding each provision, but in any negotiations neither party gets all they want....THIs is a good bill that should have passed...save for DJT needing it to fail so he could keep Biden from getting any credit....we both know this is true.
