S.2577

McCarran-Walter Technical Corrections Act amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to update border crossing rights for tribal members.

The McCarran-Walter Technical Corrections Act amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to change the criteria for American Indians crossing U.S. borders. It removes the requirement of having at least 50% American Indian blood and instead allows entry to members or eligible members of federally recognized Indian Tribes in the U.S. or individuals with Indian status in Canada. This affects individuals crossing the U.S. border from Canada.
