Bill > S370

This bill, the Protecting America From Spies Act, seeks to amend section 212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to expand the grounds for inadmissibility to the United States. Specifically, it would make any alien inadmissible if a consular officer or the Secretary of Homeland Security has reason to believe the alien has engaged, is engaging, or will engage in activities related to espionage, sabotage, the unlawful export of goods or technology, or other unlawful activities aimed at opposing or overthrowing the U.S. government. The bill also makes spouses and children of such inadmissible aliens inadmissible if the relevant activity occurred within the last 5 years. Additionally, it amends the existing waiver authority to align with the new inadmissibility grounds.
