The Tough Love Act would substantially restrict immigration benefits and services available to people without lawful immigration status. The bill limits work authorization documents only to immigrants who entered through official ports of entry and are legally present, with no exceptions allowed for the Department of Homeland Security. It also mandates detention for all immigrants ordered removed, restricts federal healthcare and education funding to states that refuse non-emergency medical care and educational services to undocumented immigrants, and prohibits states from issuing driver's licenses to people without lawful status under threat of losing federal transportation funding. Additionally, the legislation requires nonimmigrants from non-visa waiver countries to post bonds of $10,000 to $25,000 to ensure they leave on time, authorizes $120 million annually through 2028 for E-Verify employment verification systems, and requires all federal and state grant recipients to use E-Verify. The bill would take effect at various dates, with some provisions beginning 30 to 180 days after enactment, affecting states, schools, healthcare providers, employers, and immigrants across the country.
