Republicans Advance Bill to Make Trump Border Policy Permanent
The measure would tighten asylum and parole rules, raise visa-overstay penalties and face likely rejection in the Senate, lawmakers said.
- On Tuesday, the House Judiciary Committee advanced The Permanent Trump Secure Border Act to codify President Donald Trump's border policies. The legislation aims to make executive enforcement measures permanent law.
- Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, told lawmakers that Congress must ensure border security is not a 'byproduct of whoever is elected.' Current executive policies risk changing at a moment's notice without legislation.
- The bill limits asylum eligibility to legal ports of entry and criminalizes visa overstays exceeding 10 days. First-time offenders face up to $1,000 fines; repeat offenders could receive $2,000 fines and two years in prison.
- House Democrats unanimously opposed the legislation, calling it 'extreme' and 'cruel.' The bill faces a steep Senate path; Republicans hold 53 seats and require 60 votes for passage.
- The House Freedom Caucus is pushing for passage before November midterm elections. Polling shows 80-90% of Republicans and 70-85% of independents support stronger enforcement, positioning the bill as politically viable.
