This legislative proposal seeks to amend a specific section of the Immigration and Nationality Act to make the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) mandatory. Its primary objective is to change the discretionary authority regarding MPP into a non-negotiable requirement. By replacing the word "may" with "shall" in section 235(b)(2)(C), the bill would compel the government to implement these protocols. This means that non-Mexican individuals arriving at the U.S. southern border who are seeking asylum would be consistently returned to Mexico to await their immigration court hearings, rather than being processed within the United States. The bill aims to establish a permanent and non-discretionary framework for the application of the Migrant Protection Protocols , ensuring their consistent use at the border.
