Increases criminal penalties for unlawful entry and unlawful reentry into the United States by raising maximum prison terms and adding a mandatory 5-year prison term when a person who entered unlawfully is later convicted of a crime punishable by more than one year. The change amends the criminal provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act governing improper entry and return after removal, increasing potential prison exposure for those convicted under these provisions.
Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
