Quick Facts:
Bill Sponsor: Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX-21)
Congress: 118
Date Introduced: Jan. 9, 2023
Last Action: Referred to the Subcommittee on Border Security and Enforcement. (Feb. 8, 2023)
Border Safety and Security Act of 2023
This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to suspend the entry of any non-U.S. nationals (aliens under federal law) without valid entry documents during any period when DHS cannot detain such an individual or return the individual to a foreign country contiguous to the United States. A state may sue DHS to enforce this requirement.
(Under current law, non-U.S. nationals who arrive at the border without entry documents are generally subject to expedited removal. However, if such an individual is found to have a credible fear of persecution, they are typically subject to detention while their asylum claim is being considered.)
The bill also authorizes DHS to suspend the entry of non-U.S. nationals without entry documents at the border if DHS determines that such a suspension is necessary to achieve operational control over such a border.
