AI Summary
This bill, the Protecting America From Spies Act, proposes to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to ensure that efforts to engage in espionage or technology transfer are considered in visa issuance. Specifically, it would expand the grounds for inadmissibility to the United States to include any alien who engages, has engaged, or will engage in activities related to espionage, sabotage, or the unlawful export of goods, technology, or sensitive information. The bill also seeks to restrict the entry of aliens who aim to oppose or overthrow the U.S. government by force or other unlawful means. Additionally, it would allow the waiver authority to be applied to the newly added inadmissibility grounds.
