Stopping Border Surges Act

Introduced·1/3/25

Stopping Border Surges Act aims to close immigration law loopholes and enhance asylum application integrity.

The Stopping Border Surges Act seeks to address perceived incentives for unlawful entry into the United States by modifying asylum application processes and penalties for fraud. It mandates permanent ineligibility for asylum benefits for those found to have filed frivolous applications. The bill also requires recordings of asylum interviews and expedites the transfer of unaccompanied alien children to the Department of Health and Human Services.
