The debate

What people are saying about this bill

✓Arguments in support

Strengthens border security: Supporters argue that the bill prevents the release of unvetted individuals, reducing illegal entries and associated risks like crime or trafficking.
Reduces dangerous journeys: By denying entry, the bill could deter migrants from making risky treks, potentially saving lives.
Manages asylum flow efficiently: The higher credible fear standard and expedited removal process aim to streamline cases and clear backlogs.

✕Arguments against

Humanitarian harm to asylum seekers: Critics argue that detention or return to unsafe countries violates non-refoulement principles and causes trauma.
Detention overcrowding and costs: Mandatory detention could exceed capacity, leading to poor conditions or releases anyway.
Strains resources and increases expenses: Expanding detention needs without funding could raise taxpayer costs.
