Bill 119 s 398, also known as the "Limiting Executive Authority on Alien Entry Act," aims to transfer and restrict the power of the Executive Branch to suspend or restrict the entry of a specific group of aliens into the United States. The bill seeks to ensure that decisions regarding the entry of aliens are made in a more transparent and accountable manner.
Under this legislation, the President would no longer have the unilateral authority to suspend or restrict the entry of a class of aliens without the approval of Congress. Instead, any such decision would require a joint resolution of approval from both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
The bill also includes provisions to ensure that any suspension or restriction of alien entry is based on specific criteria, such as a threat to national security or public safety. Additionally, the legislation requires the Executive Branch to provide regular reports to Congress on the implementation and impact of any entry restrictions.
Overall, Bill 119 s 398 aims to limit the Executive Branch's authority on alien entry and promote greater oversight and accountability in the decision-making process. It seeks to strike a balance between national security concerns and the protection of civil liberties for all individuals seeking entry into the United States.
