Visa Overstay Could Be a Crime, with Jail Time Up to 6 Months for First Offense.

The Visa Overstay Enforcement Act of 2023 is under review by a House committee. If Trump takes office, the bill might pass very quickly.

Under current law, overstaying a visa is a civil violation, not a crime. This means there are fines, but it doesn't result in criminal charges. However, the new bill changes this, making overstaying a visa a criminal offense. If passed, even staying one day past the allowed time could lead to criminal charges, making it much harder to get a visa in the future.

In National Archive museum there’s one display that has stack of papers a few feet in height. Those are the bills that were introduced but never passed or even been brought to vote.
Bills like these introduced by a representative of 50 people from middle of nowhere has as much chance of passing as a bill for free cars for everyone. There will be nothing passed for at least next 2 years that requires senate majority to overcome filibuster. No DREAM act, no Visa overstay enforcement act. There’s zero chance any kind of immigration bill will be passed.

Under Trump, plenty of immigration bills will become law, but don’t expect them to help

immigrants—these bills will be anti-immigrant. This is Trump and the Republicans at their most

aggressive, pushing harsh, restrictive policies. Democrats had their chance to step up and

protect immigrants, but they failed to act when it mattered most. Now, Trump’s administration

will pass laws that hurt immigrants, and Democrats will have to explain why they didn’t do more

to stop it.

If Democrats don’t step up now and find a way to work with Trump on immigration, they’ll have

no chance of winning in 2028. By refusing to engage or compromise, they’re leaving

themselves with nothing to show for their efforts, and voters will notice. If they keep playing
