Why the model tagged it this way: The bill substantially addresses multiple aspects of immigration enforcement by reducing overall immigration levels, limiting family and employment-based visas, capping refugee admissions, overhauling asylum to impose strict deadlines and higher standards for credible fear and grants, expanding criminal penalties for aliens and smuggling, strengthening border security and employer verification, requiring local cooperation (banning sanctuary approaches), and enhancing detention/transport/repatriation. No provisions address firearms, transgender issues, or abortion.
