Bill overview
The Stopping Border Surges Act aims to tighten rules surrounding asylum claims and the release of unaccompanied migrant children to U.S. foster care. It seeks to deter unlawful border crossings by increasing penalties for fraudulent asylum applications and limiting asylum eligibility. The bill modifies procedures for interviewing asylum seekers, particularly regarding ‘credible fear’ claims, and establishes stricter requirements for the release of unaccompanied children to adult sponsors, including mandatory information sharing with Homeland Security. It also introduces changes to repatriation policies for certain unaccompanied alien children and expands the definition of frivolous asylum applications.
