Stricter Immigration Rules: Barring Terror Group Affiliates from Entering the U.S.

This bill strengthens national security by explicitly defining affiliation with or support for groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and ISIS as grounds for being barred from entering the United States. It ensures that officials, members, and spokespersons of these organizations are legally classified as engaging in terrorist activity for immigration purposes. This change aims to protect citizens by tightening border security.
Key points
Explicitly classifies members and officials of Hamas, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, and Palestine Islamic Jihad as engaging in terrorist activity.
