A bill to amend section 235(b)(2)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to require the implementation of the Migrant Protection Protocols.

Bill 119 s 112, also known as the Migrant Protection Protocols Act, aims to amend section 235(b)(2)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The main goal of this bill is to require the implementation of the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP).

The MPP, also known as the "Remain in Mexico" policy, was implemented by the Trump administration in 2019. This policy requires certain foreign individuals seeking asylum in the United States to wait in Mexico while their asylum claims are processed. The MPP has been controversial, with critics arguing that it puts vulnerable migrants at risk and violates international asylum laws.

If passed, Bill 119 s 112 would make the implementation of the MPP a requirement under the Immigration and Nationality Act. This means that individuals seeking asylum at the US-Mexico border would be required to wait in Mexico while their asylum claims are processed. Proponents of the bill argue that this policy is necessary to address the influx of migrants at the border and to ensure that asylum claims are processed in a timely and orderly manner. Opponents of the bill argue that the MPP puts migrants in danger and violates their rights under international law. They argue that the US should focus on improving the asylum process and providing support to migrants, rather than implementing policies that put them at risk. Overall, Bill 119 s 112 is a controversial piece of legislation that seeks to require the implementation of the Migrant Protection Protocols at the US-Mexico border. Supporters believe that this policy is necessary to address the challenges posed by the influx of migrants, while opponents argue that it puts vulnerable individuals at risk.
