Bill would ban entry for people from 40 countries and those with Palestinian Authority travel papers
This bill would stop people from 40 specific countries and those with Palestinian Authority travel documents from coming into the United States. This new rule would apply to people who are outside the U.S. and do not have a valid visa when the bill becomes law. Some groups, like lawful permanent residents or athletes, would be exempt.
Today, there is no general ban on people from these 40 countries or those with Palestinian Authority travel documents from entering the U.S. based solely on their origin. If this bill becomes law, people from these 40 countries and those with Palestinian Authority travel documents would be prohibited from entering the U.S., with some specific exceptions.
