Secure the Border Act of 2023

May. 11, 2023 | H.R. 2

Rather than uphold humanitarian principles and protect the rights of all workers regardless of immigration status, this punitive immigration bill focuses on deterrence, detention and removal. It would restrict asylum, reduce protections for children, limit relief options, erode due process, allocate funds for a border wall, cut humanitarian program funding, and support detention and deportation.
