AI Summary
This bill, the Protecting America From Spies Act, aims to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to expand the grounds for inadmissibility of aliens who engage in or intend to engage in activities related to espionage, sabotage, export control violations, or other unlawful activities against the U.S. government. Specifically, the bill broadens the criteria for denying visas to individuals who have been involved in or plan to be involved in such activities, with limited exceptions for waiver of inadmissibility.
