What were the amnesty parts of the bill, truly having trouble finding it. Seems like so much of what Trump is doing or wants to do is covered by the bill. The bill honestly left no one happy (conservatives thought it was too lax, liberals too harsh, which is honestly likely a decent sign of compromise). Bill made it harder to claim asylum, put more money towards agents, clerks, etc to expedite everything (aka if not legit they don’t get to stay here) and when not fast increase detention centers. Also gave the president more power to expel people not entering a port of entry. Even gave DHS more power as well. Bill was co-authored by an immigration hard liner from Oklahoma, and originally endorse by the BP.
The Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024, which included significant changes to immigration policy, primarily focused on border security and asylum reform. Key provisions included streamlining the asylum process at the border, increasing the threshold for passing initial screening, and limiting parole for migrants arriving by land. The bill also allocated funds for border security, including supplemental funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and assistance for newly arrived refugees. [
