Bill Summary
A BILL To repeal the Alien Registration Act of 1940.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to repeal significant portions of the Alien Registration Act of 1940, which historically required non-U.S. citizens (aliens) to register with the government and provide detailed personal information. Specifically, the bill would eliminate several sections of the Immigration and Nationality Act related to alien registration, including provisions mandating the registration, fingerprinting, and documentation of non-citizens. By repealing section 262, the bill removes the requirement for aliens to register with the government, and by striking related subsections in sections 263, 264, and 265, it effectively dismantles the legal framework for compulsory alien registration. Additionally, the bill removes a conforming amendment in section 237 that previously allowed for deportation based on registration-related violations. The practical effect of this bill would be to eliminate the federal government's ability to require comprehensive registration of non-citizens and reduce the administrative and legal mechanisms for tracking immigrants' status through mandatory registration processes.
