Stop Illegal Entry: The House is set to take up H.R.3486, which would increase penalties for individuals who illegally enter or re-enter the United States after being removed. Specifically, it seeks to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to impose harsher punishments, including longer prison sentences and potentially life imprisonment for certain repeat offenders.
Promoting Efficient Review for Modern Infrastructure: The House is also expected to take up H.R.3898, which aims to strengthen the Clean Water Act permitting process for permit seekers and holders, while providing clearer instruction and standards for permitting agencies.
