Republican Senator Bernie Moreno introduced the RULES Act, a bill aiming to reform the U.S. asylum system. The act proposes requiring asylum applications only at legal ports of entry, prohibiting the parole or release of asylum applicants, preventing reapplications after denial, and barring illegal migrants from claiming asylum in the future.

Republican Senator Bernie Moreno has introduced the Refugees Using Legal Entry Safely Act, a legislative proposal aimed at reforming the United States' asylum system. The RULES Act seeks to implement several measures, including requiring asylum seekers to submit their applications exclusively at legal ports of entry. It also aims to prohibit the parole or release of asylum applicants into the United States and prevent individuals from reapplying for asylum if their initial application is denied.
Additionally, the bill would bar any migrant found in the U.S. illegally from ever claiming asylum in the future. "If you want to live in this country, you have to respect our laws, and that starts at our borders," Moreno said. "But our broken asylum system has overwhelmed our borders with millions of migrants who enter the country illegally, claim asylum, and are just released into the country. If Democrats care about making these reforms, they should support this bill."
