(5) The 2018 Department of State country report for Mexico acknowledges serious and targeted risks faced by migrants and asylum seekers in, and transiting through, Mexico, such that it remains an unsafe place for many. (6) Current immigration law is broken and Congress must work to pass humane comprehensive immigration reform. 3. Prohibition on funding migrant protection protocols None of the funds made available by any Act may be used to implement or enforce the Migrant Protection Protocols announced by the Secretary of Homeland Security on December 20, 2018, or any subsequent revisions to those protocols.
