Bill overview
This bill, known as the Refugees Using Legal Entry Safely Act (RULES Act), changes how asylum seekers can apply for protection in the United States. It requires individuals seeking asylum to apply at a U.S. port of entry and prohibits them from being paroled into the country while their application is pending. Furthermore, those apprehended in the U.S. without proper immigration status are ineligible to claim asylum, and those denied asylum in the past cannot reapply. The bill aims to create a more structured and regulated process for asylum claims.
