Bill > HR5651

This bill, the "No Asylum for CCP Spies Act," amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to deny asylum to members of a Communist or other totalitarian party, with certain exceptions. The bill allows an alien who is a member or affiliated with a Communist or totalitarian party to be granted asylum if they publicly renounce their membership, demonstrate their membership was involuntary or limited, and are determined by the Attorney General or Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Director of National Intelligence, to not be a danger to U.S. national security. The bill also allows the Attorney General or Secretary to waive the party membership bar in certain cases where the alien has significant information relating to national security, provided the alien publicly renounces their membership and is not deemed a security threat.
