What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill creates new or tougher prison sentences for non-U.S. nationals who enter the country illegally. For example, someone who enters illegally and then commits a felony would face at least 5 years in prison and could receive a life sentence. The bill also increases prison time for people who repeatedly enter or try to enter the country without permission, especially if they were previously removed or denied entry. The penalties get even harsher — up to 10 years, 15 years, or even life in prison — depending on how many times the person tried to enter and whether they had prior criminal convictions.
