The bill would add criminal and civil penalties for nonimmigrants who fail to keep their required status or follow its conditions for an aggregate of 10 days. A first violation could bring a fine, up to six months in prison, or both. A later violation, or a violation by someone previously convicted of illegal entry, could bring a fine, up to two years in prison, or both. The bill would also set a civil penalty of $500 to $1,000 for each violation, with a higher penalty for some repeat violations. It would raise an existing civil fine for illegal entry from $50–$250 to $500–$1,000.
Nonimmigrants who do not maintain their required status or follow its conditions for at least 10 aggregate days could face the penalties described in the bill. The text also increases civil fines for illegal entry.
