A BILL

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ‘No Sanctuary for Illegals Act’.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:

(1) Illegal entry of aliens who are members of dangerous gangs, such as MS-13, into the United States is a direct threat to the security of the United States.

(2) The continuing rise of illegal immigration increases the chances that a terrorist will gain entry into the United States undetected.

(3) The rising cost to taxpayers of the United States to support housing, health care, education expenses, and criminal justice for illegal aliens has reached between $11,000,000,000 and $22,000,000,000 per year.

(4) Any attempt to deal with illegal aliens currently living in the United States must start with the United States securing its borders.

SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

It is the sense of Congress that the worsening crisis of illegal immigration must be solved.

SEC. 4. BORDER SECURITY.

(a) Full-Time Active-Duty Border Patrol Agents- In order to fulfill the requirement under section 5202 of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-458; 118 Stat. 3734) (relating to an increase in the number of positions for full-time active-duty border patrol agents within the Department of Homeland Security), and subject to the availability of appropriations for such purpose, the Secretary of Homeland Security (in this Act referred to as the ‘Secretary’) shall--

(1) increase incentives to recruit individuals to become such agents by offering such individuals repayment of higher education loans, not to exceed $6,000 per year and a maximum of $40,000; and

(2) develop incentives to retain experienced border patrol agents through the establishment of a retention program.

(b) Deployment of Technology- In accordance with section 2(a)(1) of the Secure Fence Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-367; 8 U.S.C. 1701 note), the Secretary is authorized to deploy newly developed and cutting-edge technologies to secure the international land and maritime borders of the United States.

(2) not later than December 31, 2010, submit to Congress a report on the progress and expected completion date of such construction.

The name and fingerprints of such alien shall be added to an appropriate watch list maintained by the Department of Homeland Security concerning aliens who have been unlawfully present in the United States, and such immigration judge shall order such alien immediately removed from the United States without being released from detention and without further hearing or review in the same manner as an alien described in section 235(b)(1)(A)(i) of such Act (8 U.S.C. 1225(b)(1)(A)(i)) is subject to immediate removal from the United States under the provisions of such section.
