Summary
This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice to include with each asylum application a written warning notifying the applicant of the consequences of filing a frivolous application. The bill defines a frivolous application as one that (1) is so insufficient that it is clear that it was filed to delay removal from the United States or obtain some other immigration-related benefit, or (2) contains material facts that are knowingly fabricated.
