Limits President's power to ban groups of people from entering the U.S. and adds religious protections.
This bill would make it harder for a President to ban certain groups of people from entering the United States. It would add religious protections to immigration law. It would also require more checks and balances from Congress and the courts before such bans could take effect. People seeking visas or other immigration benefits would have expanded nondiscrimination protections.
Today, the President has broad power to ban groups of people from entering the U.S. There are few legal limits or requirements for Congress or courts to review these actions. Immigration law also doesn't explicitly protect against religious discrimination for all types of visas or entry. This bill would require the Secretary of State to first determine the need for any entry restriction. This restriction would then be limited to specific, temporary, and narrowly focused actions. It would also add religious protections to all visa and entry processes and create new rules for Congress to oversee and courts to review these decisions.
