End Unaccountable Amnesty Act

What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill changes several immigration laws and programs. It requires Congress to approve Temporary Protected Status for foreign countries instead of letting the Department of Homeland Security decide, and limits this protection to 12 months. The bill requires most unaccompanied children who cannot legally enter the country to be returned to their home countries, whereas current law only allows this return and only for children from neighboring countries. It eliminates a program that lets some non-U.S. nationals cancel their removal orders or change their immigration status. The bill also restricts when the Department of Homeland Security can grant parole for temporary admission to only specific situations like visiting a dying family member.
