Requires interstate compacts to include provisions for enforcing federal immigration laws governing detaining illegal aliens and sharing law enforcement resources, so more state involvement in detention and related enforcement activities.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends requirements for an interstate compact on border security to mandate provisions on sharing intelligence and resources for border barriers/surveillance, operational control via detection/apprehension of illegal aliens, enforcing federal immigration laws (including detention), and mutual support for enforcement infrastructure. These changes expand state and multi-state immigration enforcement along the border. The definition of 'illegal alien' supports these provisions but does not independently trigger a separate tag. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
