To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14, Sec. 100017

The section requires the Secretary, on top of any other fee, to charge a fee to an inadmissible alien when they are apprehended between ports of entry. For fiscal year 2025 the amount is the greater of $5,000 or what the Secretary sets by rule, rising each year with the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, rounded to the next lowest multiple of $10.

What the document actually says

“the Secretary of Homeland Security shall require the payment of a fee, equal to the amount specified in subsection (b), by any inadmissible alien at the time such alien is apprehended between ports of entry.”

That sentence, in plain words

A fee must be paid on being caught. That is between ports of entry. It falls on a person who may not be let in.

What this is about

It comes on top of other fees. The amount starts at $5,000. It climbs with prices each year.

What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

Each distinct thing the section does: charge the fee, set the amount and the yearly rise, and both of the two disposition subsections the section carries.

Nothing in the section is left out. It has four subsections and each is recorded.

The section sets a fee directly and amends no older statute, so nothing recorded here depends on a document that is not indexed.
