Introduced

Summary

This bill would sharply tighten U.S. immigration rules to bar, deport, or strip citizenship from people for membership in or advocacy of specified ideological movements.

Show full summary
  • Immigrants and visa applicants would face expanded inadmissibility for membership in or affiliation with communist, socialist, Chinese communist, Marxist, or Islamic fundamentalist parties, and advocacy can be a ground for denial with a limited exception for actions before age 14 and a new 14-year membership threshold.
  • Naturalization applicants and current naturalized citizens would face broader eligibility checks and risk of denaturalization for past or present advocacy or affiliation, including electronic material, and the bill removes the prior five-year limit on revocations.
  • Community groups and individuals would see a detailed set of definitions and named movements and organizations, including the Muslim Brotherhood, Islamic State, Al-Nour Party, Hamas, and Hezbollah, and many agency determinations would be made nonreviewable while the Attorney General writes implementing rules.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 2 mixed.

Stricter rules for U.S. citizenship

If enacted, this bill would make it harder to become a U.S. citizen. You could be denied naturalization or later lose citizenship for being, or having been, a member of or affiliated with communist, socialist, Chinese communist, Marxist, or Islamic fundamentalist groups, or for advocating those ideas, including via electronic writings. It would change some numeric and age rules (replace "ten" with "20", lower an age reference to 14) and remove a five-year time limit for revoking citizenship; decisions under these rules would be final and not reviewable.

New immigration bans for advocacy

If enacted, this bill would bar noncitizens from getting a visa or admission if they advocate for or belong to groups that support socialism, communism, Marxism, Chinese communism, or Islamic fundamentalism. It would treat written, printed, or electronic materials that promote those ideas, and membership or affiliation (including predecessors, successors, or fronts), as reasons to deny admission or to deport you. Advocacy only when under age 14 is a limited exception if you can prove it to a consular officer (for a visa) or the Attorney General (for admission), and many decisions would be final and not reviewable.

New legal definitions for ideologies

If enacted, this bill would add many new legal definitions to immigration law for terms like socialism, communism, Marxism, Chinese communism, and Islamic fundamentalism. It would name specific groups as examples, such as the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamic State, the Al‑Nour Party, Hamas, Hezbollah, Hizb ut Tahrir, Boko Haram, and Al‑Shabaab. Officials would use these definitions when they decide visas, removals, and citizenship cases.

Attorney General rulemaking required

If enacted, the Attorney General would have to write regulations to implement these immigration and citizenship changes. Those rules would tell consular officers and immigration agencies how to apply the new visa, deportation, and naturalization standards. The timing and details would depend on the regulations the Attorney General issues.
