Rep. Hunt Proposes Law to Allow 'Invasion' Declarations and Immediate Expulsions at the Southern Border
Legislative Progress
Key Points
Impact Analysis
Personal Impact
Anyone who crosses or attempts to cross the southern border illegally during a declared invasion would be immediately blocked from entering and subject to removal. They would lose access to every form of legal relief — asylum, withholding of removal, humanitarian parole — with no ability to make their case to a judge. This represents a fundamental change in how the U.S. treats people arriving at the southern border without authorization.
“an alien who unlawfully enters or attempts to enter the United States across the southern border during a period in which an invasion is proclaimed under section 212A shall be ineligible for any relief, protection, or benefit under this Act that would permit the alien to remain in the United States.”
