Bill overview
This bill increases penalties for illegal entry and overstaying visas in the United States. It raises the fines for unlawful entry to between $500 and $1,000, up from $50 to $250. Individuals who overstay a visa by 10 days or more, especially those with prior violations, could face fines or imprisonment, with penalties increasing for subsequent offenses. The bill aims to deter unauthorized presence in the U.S. by strengthening enforcement mechanisms.
