Given the questioning of groups that protect the rights of migrants and some criticism from opposition sectors, the law that would govern can be summarized in certain central aspects:
- Prohibition of asylum appeal upon passing a certain threshold of cases: in the event that illegal border entries exceed the average of 5,000 per day within five days or more than 4,000 occur in a single day, The federal authority of the United States will have the possibility of closing the border and temporarily prohibiting these types of requests..
