!["Expanded grounds of inadmissibility of illegal aliens: Allows for the expansion of inadmissibility under U.S. immigration law. Migrants paying cartels for passage to the U.S. border, thereby providing “material support,”[iv] could face automatic ineligibility for asylum and expedited removal.[v] By paying the "piso" (a tax imposed by cartels for passage through territory they control) or ransom if kidnapped, migrants knowingly fund cartel operations. These payments constitute material support to terrorist organizations, making migrants subject to criminal charges under U.S. law." The phrase "or ransom if kidnapped" is highlighted.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreicm7crjsbazt74ejpqfkawn53cyflqxkbea4bxtfqvauem6zxefom@jpeg)
