Public Description:
S. 2368, the Border Security and Interior Enforcement Improvement Act, would increase border control by providing for the construction of a fence along the U.S.-Mexico border, adding Border Patrol agents, adding facilities and detention beds for detained aliens, and mandating use of an entry-exit system; increase interior enforcement by mandating use of an entry-exit system, providing for potential involvement of state and local law enforcement agencies in the enforcement of immigration laws, and establishing a permanent and mandatory employment eligibility; and eliminate the visa lottery that each year awards 50,000 visas to aliens on a totally random basis.
