End Unaccountable Amnesty Act

This bill would tighten several U.S. immigration rules. It would make Congress—not the Department of Homeland Security—decide when a country’s people get Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and it would cap TPS at 12 months at a time. It would also narrow when the government can let someone enter or stay temporarily (“parole”), limiting it to specific emergencies like when a close family member is near death.

At airports, some papers—like a DHS Notice to Appear—would no longer count as ID at security checkpoints. The bill would also require most children who arrive alone and are not allowed to enter to be sent back to their home country or last place they lived. It would end a program that lets some people stop deportation or get permanent status.

• Who is affected: People from countries that use TPS; children arriving at the border without a parent/guardian; people in deportation cases; travelers who rely on certain papers as ID at airports.
• What changes: Congress must approve TPS and it lasts up to 12 months; parole is limited to narrow emergencies; some documents no longer work as airport ID; more unaccompanied children would be returned; a path to stop deportation or gain permanent status would be removed.
