M. Olivier Gaillard attire l'attention de M. le ministre de la cohésion des territoires sur les évolutions qu'il serait possible d'engager au niveau des règles qui régissent l'identification et le décomptage des logements sociaux par commune (au titre de l'inventaire SRU), compte tenu du développement des résidences hôtelières à vocation sociale (RHVS). La réponse à la pénurie de logement, les équilibres sociaux dans les territoires sont essentiels au pacte républicain. Ces finalités sont communes, d'une part, au dispositif SRU (article 55 de la loi SRU) qui incite au développement des logements sociaux proportionnellement au parc résidentiel, et, d'autre part, aux RHVS qui permettent de développer et de diversifier les solutions d'hébergement de qualité à un coût maitrisé. Les RHVS ont été relancés par la loi égalité et citoyenneté du 27 janvier 2017, la même qui recentre le dispositif de l'article 55 de la loi SRU sur les territoires où la demande locative sociale et très sociale est la plus forte. La vocation sociale de ces structures a été élargie à de nouveaux publics comme les personnes bénéficiant d'un accueil inconditionnel (personnes sans abri ou en détresse, demandeurs d'asile). Précisons que la clientèle sociale de ces établissements peut les occuper à titre de résidence principale. Aussi, il lui demande s'il ne conviendrait pas d'assouplir la loi SRU en envisageant de prendre en compte les RHVS dans l'inventaire SRU, sachant aussi que la diminution des APL va mettre à l'épreuve, un temps, la politique de construction d'un certain nombre d'offices HLM, et, par voie de conséquence, la satisfaction par les communes de l'obligation de quota de logements sociaux. Par une telle perspective, le taux légal de logement sociaux demeurerait le même.

M. Éric Straumann attire l'attention de Mme la garde des sceaux, ministre de la justice, sur la liste des délits provoquant l'interdiction définitive du territoire national. Plusieurs vols nocturnes ont ainsi été commis par un groupe d'Ukrainiens en Alsace parfois pendant le sommeil des propriétaires. Bijoux, tablettes, espèces et téléphones ont disparu. Une Audi a par ailleurs été volée à Artzenheim, munie de fausses plaques suisses. Ses trois occupants prendront la fuite mais les gendarmes trouveront dans le véhicule une disqueuse et des objets volés, mais aussi l'ADN d'un jeune Ukrainien qui a reconnu sa participation aux cambriolages. Face à ces délits avérés et répétés, le ministère public n'a pu demander l'interdiction définitive du territoire national, le code pénal excluant cette possibilité lors de vols par effraction. Aussi il lui demande s'il serait possible d'inclure dans la loi la notion de « vols répétés » parmi celles susceptibles de provoquer - au même titre que les violences graves, le viol, les graves agressions sexuelles, le vol avec violences, le meurtre, les actes de terrorisme, le trafic de stupéfiants, le travail illégal, l'usage de faux papiers, ou la fraude au mariage - l'interdiction définitive du territoire national.

DHS must establish the position of Coordinator of Alternatives to Detention and Family Reunification to coordinate the use of alternative detention programs and to reunify parents with children separated from them.

Asylum Abuse Reduction Act This bill provides that if an alien seeking asylum attempts to enter the United States from Canada or Mexico at a land port of entry without a valid visa or appropriate entry documents the inspecting immigration officer: may not admit the alien, and shall advise the alien to schedule an asylum hearing at a U.S. embassy or consulate in Canada or Mexico. Such alien may not be admitted into the United States unless the asylum officer has conducted an in-person interview and concluded that the alien: has been persecuted in his or her country of origin because of race, religion, nationality, social group membership, or political opinion; or would be subject to torture upon return. The bill requires each federal judicial district to appoint at least one magistrate or district court judge who, upon a showing of probable cause, shall issue an arrest warrant for an alien under a final removal order who has failed to leave the United States. The Department of Homeland Security shall establish an alternative to detention pilot program in which aliens may be released to the supervision of a qualified organization that has contracted with the federal government to facilitate such aliens' compliance with all stages of the immigration proceedings. An alien who fails to comply with program requirements may be subjected to arrest, detention, and expedited removal.

The Department of State shall deliver information in Dari, Pashto, or Urdu to prospective SIV holders about resettlement in the United States to assist with their adjustment process. The State Department and the Department of Defense shall jointly establish a temporary program to offer SIV holders employment as translators, interpreters, and cultural awareness instructors.

M. Sébastien Nadot attire l'attention de M. le ministre d'État, ministre de l'intérieur, sur les difficultés rencontrées par des personnes étrangères demandant ou renouvelant un titre de séjour en raison de leur état de santé. Pour ces titres de séjour, et à la différence des autres titres (salarié, par exemple), les préfectures ne délivrent plus de récépissé de première demande ou de renouvellement lors de l'enregistrement du dossier à leur guichet, mais seulement une fois qu'elles sont informées par le service médical de l'Office français de l'immigration et de l'intégration (OFII) de la transmission du rapport médical prévu par la réglementation en pareil cas. Or les services de l'OFII étant aujourd'hui débordés, cela conduit à différer de plusieurs semaines ou mois le moment où l'intéressé est mis en possession d'un récépissé établissant la régularité de sa situation administrative. Pour les renouvellements, cela peut même conduire à la perte de droits sociaux et d'un emploi si le titre à renouveler expire avant la délivrance du récépissé, l'intéressé n'étant alors plus en situation régulière. Le Défenseur des droits a été saisi et des tribunaux ont à diverses reprises enjoint à des préfectures de délivrer un récépissé sans délai, conformément à la réglementation. Mais le problème subsiste. Il lui demande s'il entend intervenir auprès des préfets afin que les personnes demandant un titre de séjour pour raison de santé puissent obtenir un récépissé dès le dépôt de leur dossier.

Humane Treatment of Migrant Children Act This bill prohibits an agent or officer of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Department of Justice (DOJ), or the Department of Health and Human Services from removing a child (i.e., an individual who has not reached the age of 18 and has no permanent immigration status) from a parent or legal guardian at or near the port of entry or within 100 miles of the U.S. border unless: (1) a state court determines that such removal is in the best interests of the child, (2) a state child welfare agency makes a similar determination because the child is in danger or abuse or neglect, or (3) the Chief Patrol Agent or the Area Port Director authorizes separation based on a finding that the child is a victim of trafficking or is in danger of abuse or neglect. The bill establishes a strong presumption in favor of family unity and a presumption that detention is not in the best interest of families and children. It further requires DHS to ensure that sibling groups remain intact. DHS must: (1) publish final public guidance that describes the manner in which a parent or legal guardian may locate a child who has become separated; (2) provide the parent or legal guardian of a separated child basic information about the child's activities, education and health, and immigration status; and (3) report to Congress annually on family separation. The Government Accountability Office must study, and report on, the prosecution of asylum seekers during the period beginning on January 1, 2008, and ending on December 31, 2018. The bill requires that unaccompanied alien children be provided free legal counsel in immigration proceedings and that DHS provide access to counsel for all aliens detained in immigration detention facilities. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement shall use its resources to detain aliens who pose a threat to national security or public safety. Aliens shall not be detained if they are known to be suffering from serious physical or mental illness, have a disability, are elderly, pregnant, or nursing, are minors, are the primary caretakers of a minor or an inform person, or that their detention is otherwise not in the public interest. DHS must provide sufficient funding to cover alternatives to detention programs. DOJ must increase the total number of immigration judges and DHS must increase the number of its personnel responsible for processing refugee applications.
