Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

The Tough Love Act amends immigration law to restrict employment authorization to aliens with lawful immigration status, mandate detention for aliens ordered removed, and condition federal funding to states on their enforcement of immigration restrictions. The bill prohibits federal funding for states that provide non-emergency medical care or education to undocumented immigrants, requires states to deny driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants or lose federal transportation funding, and mandates E-Verify use for federal and state grant recipients. It also establishes visa overstay bonds of $10,000–$25,000 for certain nonimmigrants, with automatic forfeiture and a 5-year bar to lawful status for those who overstay.
