Bill 119 HR 273, also known as the "Migrant Protection Protocols Continuation Act," is a piece of legislation that aims to direct the Secretary of Homeland Security to continue implementing the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP). The MPP, also known as the "Remain in Mexico" policy, requires certain foreign individuals seeking asylum in the United States to wait in Mexico while their asylum claims are processed.
The bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to immigration and border security. It is important to note that the MPP has been a controversial policy, with critics arguing that it puts vulnerable individuals at risk by forcing them to wait in dangerous conditions in Mexico.
Supporters of the bill argue that the MPP is necessary to address the influx of migrants at the southern border and to ensure that asylum claims are processed in a timely and orderly manner. The bill is currently being debated in Congress, with both supporters and opponents voicing their opinions on the potential impact of the legislation.
