What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Asylum Accountability Act," proposes an amendment to the Immigration and Nationality Act. It aims to change the rules regarding aliens who are ordered removed because they failed to appear at a removal proceeding. Specifically, the bill would remove the 10-year limit on this consequence. Under this change, such individuals would be permanently barred from becoming permanent residents of the United States, unless there are exceptional circumstances.
