H.R. 489 would expand the scope of Trump's EO by making any illegal alien who entered within the past two years subject to expedited removal and would allow for such application outside of the current 100-mile enforcement boundary.
The "Legal Workforce Act" would require most employers in the U.S. to use E-Verify within 2 years. It would also increase the penalties related to knowingly hiring illegal aliens, and allows for the verification of all employees who have not been checked against the E-Verify system yet at a single geographical location.
The "Significant Transnational Criminal Organization Designation Act" would classify any foreign national with membership in a significant transnational criminal organization, like Mexican cartels, as inadmissible for entry into the U.S.
The "Protect Communities from a Porous Border Act of 2023" would require DHS to notify Governors of its intent to detain or house aliens in their state at least ten days before doing so, with a certification that they have undergone the appropriate background checks. H.R. 402 would allow Governors to refuse resettlements in their states and apply to The United States Refugee Admissions Program, paroled refugees/aliens, and unaccompanied alien children - but would not apply to asylum-seekers.
The "Finish the Wall Act" would require immediate resumption of border barrier construction and require DNA and fingerprint data collection at all Customs and Border Protection facilities that process adult aliens.
The "Break the Chain Act" would eliminate the practice of Chain Migration by narrowing the definition of "immediate relatives," which are currently not subject to any numerical limits. H.R. 213 also reduces the baseline cap on family-sponsored visas and applies said cap to children and spouses of sponsoring green card holders. H.R. 213 creates a non-immigrant visa category for alien parents of U.S. citizens, allowing admission for 5 years without the ability to work or receive public benefits.
The "SECURE America Act" would require an annual joint resolution from Congress to set refugee caps, allow Congress to review refugee rules made by federal agencies, bar DHS from paroling any alien who has not been granted legal status, and allow Governors to refuse refugee resettlement in their state. H.R. 194 states that potential refugees must obtain a DHS and FBI background check, "assimilation likelihood screening," and approval from both the FBI and DNI before admission.
The "Security First Act" would create a trust fund for FEMA's Operation Stonegarden, which provides funding to local law enforcement agencies to support joint efforts in securing the U.S. borders.

The "HELD Act" would prohibit any federal funds from going to sanctuary jurisdictions that enact policies or practices which restrict local law enforcement responses to immigration notices from ICE, including the refusal to honor ICE detainers for up to 48 hours.
The "Fund and Complete the Border Wall Act" would establish a federal fund to build effective border barriers along the entire southwestern border.

The "State Immigration Enforcement Act" would allow states and municipalities to implement criminal and civil penalties for any immigration violation as long as they do not exceed the Federal penalties associated with each immigration violation.
The "Voter Integrity Protection Act" would classify voting as an illegal alien not only as a deportable offense, which it is already, but also as an aggravated felony that carries various consequences, such as rendering the alien inadmissible, deportable, and barred from naturalization.
"Grant's Law" would require the mandatory detention of illegal aliens arrested for any offense that would cause them to become inadmissible or deportable. H.R. 87 would also allow the Secretary of DHS to release illegal aliens to local authorities to face criminal proceedings; if the alien is not convicted, DHS must take them back into custody until the time of their removal from the U.S. Finally, H.R. 87 would require aliens convicted of deportable offenses to be removed from the U.S. within 90 days.
H.R. 85 would grant jurisdiction over immigration cases brought by aliens challenging removal or other action under the Immigration and Nationality Act exclusively to the D.C. District Court - allowing the development of immigration expertise in a single court.
H.R. 47 reestablishes the Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement Office (VOICE) within the Department of Homeland Security to provide support to victims of illegal-alien crime and their families. The office was first established by the Trump Administration and dismantled by the Biden Administration.
The "Border Safety and Security Act of 2023" would give the Sec. of DHS the authority to suspend the entry of illegal aliens to achieve operational control of the border during a crisis or surge. Additionally, H.R. 29 requires the Secretary to stop entries if DHS cannot return them to the country they entered through (like Remain in Mexico), or detain aliens until their hearings. Finally, H.R. 29 allows states and municipalities to sue the administration for not following the required suspension mentioned above.
