This bill would convert several Trump-era immigration executive orders and policies into permanent federal law. The legislation codifies orders related to border wall construction, expedited removal of immigrants, the "Remain in Mexico" policy that required asylum seekers to wait outside the U.S. while their cases are processed, and restrictions on sanctuary cities that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. The bill also prevents federal agencies from removing state-constructed border barriers and modifies birthright citizenship rules to require at least one parent to be a U.S. citizen, national, or lawful permanent resident. The bill was introduced in March 2024 by a group of House Republicans and referred to multiple committees including Judiciary, Homeland Security, and Armed Services, but no funding amounts or implementation timeline are specified in the text.
