Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

New crime for fleeing Border Patrol

This bill would create a federal crime for drivers who intentionally flee Border Patrol. It would apply within 100 miles of the U.S. border. It would also cover other officers who are helping or under Border Patrol command. Penalties would be up to 2 years and/or a fine. If serious injury results, it would be 5 to 20 years; if death results, 10 years to life.

Tougher immigration penalties for border evasion

If enacted, noncitizens convicted of this evasion crime, or who admit to the acts, would face strict immigration results. They would be inadmissible to the United States and could be deported. They would also be ineligible for immigration relief, including asylum. This would apply only when the conviction or admission meets the essential elements of the new offense.
