§1182d Denial of visas to confiscators of American property

Summary

Unless another law (section 6091 of title 22) says otherwise, and except for the exceptions below, the Secretary of State can refuse a visa to a foreign national who used a government or political party job to take for personal gain land or buildings that were seized from a U.S. citizen, who helped do that, or who got others to do it. The rule does not apply to countries set up by the United Nations or to territories the U.S. recognizes as disputed. Within 6 months after October 21, 1998, and then every 12 months, the Secretary must send the Speaker of the House and the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee a list of people denied visas and a list of people who could have been denied but were issued visas, with reasons.
