Tribal Border Crossing Parity Act

This bill amends U.S. immigration law to change eligibility criteria for tribal members crossing the U.S.-Canada border. It replaces the previous requirement of "at least 50% blood quantum" with recognition of membership in federally recognized U.S. tribes or Canadian First Nations with Indian Act status. Specifically, it allows members or eligible members of U.S. tribes, or Canadian First Nations members with Indian Act registration, to cross the border under the same provisions. Individuals admitted under this change receive the status of "alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence," providing clearer legal standing. The bill directly affects tribal members and Canadian First Nations citizens who cross the U.S.-Canada border for travel or residence.
