Secure and Protect Act of 2019 This bill makes changes to the handling of unaccompanied alien children and asylum applications. The Flores settlement (a court settlement imposing conditions on the treatment of detained alien minors) shall not restrict any activities. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shall have sole discretion as to detention standards of alien minors. Statutory provisions governing the handling of unaccompanied alien children from U.S.-bordering countries shall now govern all unaccompanied alien children. The bill provides for requirements relating to the handling of such alien children. Certain immigration officer determinations relating to unaccompanied alien children shall be unreviewable. DHS may detain accompanied alien children up to 100 days (some courts have ruled that Flores limits the detention of certain alien children to 20 days). States may not impose licensing requirements for family detention facilities. An unaccompanied alien child shall not be released from custody while immigration or removal proceedings are pending, with some exceptions. The bill limits asylum eligibility to aliens entering the United States at a designated port of entry and provides for additional grounds for asylum ineligibility. A credible fear of persecution is redefined to mean that it is more likely than not that the alien would be able to establish eligibility for asylum. The Department of State shall establish refugee application and processing centers in Mexico and Central America. The bill requires the hiring of additional immigration judges, support staff, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement attorneys.

Central America Reform and Enforcement Act This bill establishes programs to address the humanitarian crisis in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras (the Northern Triangle countries) and to handle asylum-seekers from those countries. The Department of State shall report to Congress a five-year interagency strategy to address the factors driving migration from Central America. The bill establishes various new immigration-related penalties, such as making it unlawful to knowingly destroy any government-deployed border-control device (e.g., fence or camera). The State Department shall work to expand the capacity of other countries to provide asylum. The State Department shall establish at least four Designated Application Processing Centers in the Northern Triangle countries and Mexico to adjudicate asylum applications and admit qualified aliens from the Northern Triangle countries as refugees. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) shall provide certain assessments and health care services to unaccompanied alien children. The rights of a parent or guardian over an unaccompanied alien child may be terminated only pursuant to a court order. The Office of Refugee Resettlement shall conduct certain background checks on prospective sponsors of an unaccompanied alien child. To receive certain funding, a local educational agency must ensure that unaccompanied alien children are served. An unaccompanied alien child shall be appointed free counsel in immigration proceedings. The Department of Justice shall increase the number of immigration judges and Board of Immigration Appeals staff attorneys. The Department of Homeland Security, HHS, and the State Department shall develop a process for repatriating unaccompanied children to their country of origin. This process must require a determination of the child's best interests.

Mme Laurianne Rossi alerte M. le ministre de l'intérieur sur les difficultés liées à l'évolution de la carte sur laquelle est versée mensuellement l'allocation de demandeur d'asile (ADA) prévue à l'article D. 744-33 du code de l'entrée et du séjour des étrangers et du droit d'asile. Depuis l'annonce de l'Office français de l'immigration et de l'intégration (OFII) du 23 juillet 2019, cette carte, qui, auparavant était une carte de retrait, deviendra à compter du 5 novembre 2019, une carte exclusivement dédiée au paiement. En d'autres termes, la carte bancaire ne permettra plus de retirer de l'argent liquide et tous les paiements devront s'effectuer dans les commerces par l'intermédiaire de terminaux de paiement électronique. Cette évolution place les bénéficiaires de l'allocation de demandeur d'asile dans une situation délicate puisque certains commerces fixent un minimum d'achat pour les opérations réalisées par l'intermédiaire d'une carte bancaire. Ainsi, certains petits achats ne seront plus accessibles aux demandeurs d'asile dans certains commerces. Cette réforme est d'autant plus inquiétante qu'elle supprime la seule modalité de transaction qui ne peut être refusée et qu'elle impliquerait des frais bancaires au-delà de 25 opérations par mois. Ainsi, elle souhaiterait d'une part, connaître les raisons qui ont présidé à ce choix, et d'autre part, si une solution mixte prévoyant la mise en place d'une carte de retrait et de paiement est à l'étude.
France · National Assembly · 10 May 2019
Mme Florence Granjus attire l'attention de M. le ministre de l'intérieur sur les difficultés d'obtention d'un rendez-vous en préfecture pour les ressortissants étrangers afin de renouveler leur titre de séjour et régulariser leur situation. L'intégration des étrangers est essentielle à l'heure où les demandes d'asile augmentent fortement. Si des avancées ont été faites à travers notamment la dématérialisation des services de la majeure partie des préfectures, il reste néanmoins très difficile pour les migrants d'obtenir un rendez-vous, situation problématique alors que la plupart remplissent les conditions d'obtention ou de renouvellement d'un titre de séjour. Les files d'attente virtuelles et l'absence de rendez-vous in situ créent des situations d'angoisse expliquées par les risques de pertes d'emploi, d'attentes de cursus universitaires et de droits sociaux. L'incapacité des préfectures à traiter dans les délais les dossiers peut engendrer l'apparition de personnes en situation irrégulière, ainsi que parfois des expulsions injustifiées au vu de la bonne foi des personnes en attente. Pour rappel, depuis le mois d'août 2016, la plupart des personnes étrangères ne parviennent même pas à obtenir d'informations sur l'avancée de leur demande, avec pourtant 91 % des appels en préfecture aboutis. Elle lui demande de lui donner des éléments d'éclairage sur les réflexions et les travaux en cours afin d'améliorer la performance des services de préfecture dans le traitement des titres de séjour.

Asylum Seeker Protection Act This bill prohibits the use of funds to implement or enforce the Migrant Protection Protocols announced on December 20, 2018. (The protocol generally requires that aliens who are not clearly admissible arriving by land along the U.S.-Mexico border be returned to Mexico while their immigration proceedings are pending, rather than remain in the United States. The protocol applies to aliens seeking asylum but who have been assessed not to be more likely than not to face persecution or torture in Mexico.)
