Show full summary
- Noncitizens and visa applicants would face new grounds of inadmissibility and deportability for membership in or advocacy of the listed parties and organizations. The bill names groups and broad categories including Communist and Socialist parties, the Chinese Communist Party and allied groups, and a range of Islamic fundamentalist organizations.
- People seeking naturalization or current citizens could be denied or stripped of citizenship for membership, affiliation, or advocacy tied to those doctrines. The bill removes prior time limits on revoking naturalization and widens the grounds for denial and revocation.
- The Attorney General would write implementing regulations and many determinations under the new rules would be made nonreviewable by courts. The bill creates a narrow age exception where sole advocacy before age 14 may not trigger the advocacy ground.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 6 costs, 0 mixed.
Deportation for ideology-related acts
If enacted, the bill would make admitted noncitizens deportable for engaging in advocacy for communism, socialism, Chinese communism, Marxism, or Islamic fundamentalism. It would also make you deportable for writing, printing, distributing, displaying, possessing, or publishing material that advocates those doctrines, or for doing such acts on behalf of listed parties. Membership in listed parties, affiliates, predecessors, successors, or fronts could also trigger deportation. Any determination under this rule would be final and not subject to court review.
New legal definitions of ideologies
If enacted, the bill would add many new legal definitions for terms like socialism, communism, Chinese communism, Marxism, Islamic fundamentalism, Sharia law, and militant jihad. It would define categories such as communist, socialist, Chinese communist, and Islamic fundamentalist parties and list named groups and affiliates. The definitions would extend to sections, branches, affiliates, predecessors, successors, and front organizations. These new definitions would change what actions or memberships count as disqualifying in immigration cases.
Stricter citizenship rules for ideology
If enacted, the bill would expand the grounds that can disqualify you from naturalization for past or present membership in, affiliation with, or advocacy for specified communist, socialist, Chinese communist, or Islamic fundamentalist parties and their affiliates. It would add past-tense language, include electronic materials, and cover possession of materials intended for circulation. The bill would lower the protective age from 16 to 14 and remove involuntary-membership exceptions. Any determination under this section would be final and not subject to court review.
Visa and admission bans for advocacy
If enacted, the bill would make noncitizens inadmissible for advocating or affiliating with groups that support socialism, communism, Marxism, Chinese communism, or Islamic fundamentalism. If the advocacy happened only before age 14, the applicant must prove that to the consular officer or the Attorney General. The bill would remove prior exceptions for involuntary membership or membership by operation of law. Decisions under this rule would be final and not subject to court review.
Wider denaturalization timing and evidence
If enacted, the bill would remove the five-year timing limit on bringing some denaturalization actions. It would also strike a phrase that referenced needing countervailing evidence. These changes would let authorities challenge naturalization at later dates and with fewer of the prior evidentiary constraints. If you are a naturalized citizen, your status could be at greater legal risk.
Attorney General must write rules
If enacted, the bill would require the Attorney General to issue regulations necessary to carry out the Act's immigration changes. Those regulations would explain how agencies apply the new definitions and grounds. This step enables enforcement but does not itself impose penalties or payments.
