Blocks foreign nationals suspected of spying or stealing technology from entering the U.S.
This bill would make it tougher for foreigners suspected of spying or stealing important technology to come into the U.S. It would add new reasons to deny someone a visa, such as spying done outside the U.S. that would be illegal here, or breaking laws about sending sensitive tech out of the country. Spouses and children of these individuals could also be denied entry for up to five years.
Currently, U.S. law allows officials to deny visas to foreign nationals for certain security reasons, like spying against the U.S. This bill would expand those reasons to include actions taken outside the U.S. that would be considered spying here, or breaking laws about exporting sensitive technology. It would also make it harder for these individuals to get waivers and would deny entry to their spouses and children for up to five years.
