Summary
Main subject: Rewrites the Immigration and Nationality Act provision on the President's authority to suspend or restrict the entry of aliens, adds conditions and reporting requirements to that authority, and adds religion to the list of factors on which immigration decisions may not be based. Sec. 2, Sec. 3, Sec. 4
Its core areas: Presidential authority to suspend or restrict entry of aliens under Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act; Nondiscrimination in immigrant and nonimmigrant visa decisions and other immigration benefits; Congressional notification and reporting on entry suspensions and restrictions; Court challenges to entry suspensions and restrictions.
Unexpected Items: 0 provisions
What it does
- Sec. 2: Amends Section 202(a)(1)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to add religion to the listed factors, and to extend the nondiscrimination rule to nonimmigrant visas, admission or other entry, and approval or revocation of any immigration benefit.
- Sec. 3: Allows the President to temporarily suspend or restrict the entry of aliens or a class of aliens after the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security, determines from specific and credible facts that their entry would undermine named interests such as security or public safety.
- Sec. 3: Requires that a suspension or restriction be issued only to address specific acts implicating a compelling government interest, be narrowly tailored using the least restrictive means, state its duration, and consider waivers with a rebuttable presumption in favor of family-based and humanitarian waivers.
- Sec. 3: Requires the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security to consult specified congressional committees before the President acts, to brief them and submit a written report within 48 hours afterward, and to publish an unclassified version in the Federal Register; the suspension or restriction terminates immediately if the briefing and report are not provided, absent intervening congressional action.
- Sec. 3: Allows an individual or entity present in the United States that has been harmed by a violation of the new subsection to file an action in a federal district court for declaratory or injunctive relief, and does not preclude a class action.
- Sec. 4: Requires the Secretary of State to report to congressional committees within 90 days on implementation of Presidential Proclamations 9645, 9822 and 9983 and Executive Order Nos. 13769, 13780 and 13815, and to submit further reports every 30 days while a suspension or restriction is in effect; the reports must be made publicly available online in unclassified form.
