HR 6286 United States House · 118th Congress

Protecting America From Spies Act

This bill expands grounds for denying entry to foreign nationals under U.S. immigration law. It makes individuals inadmissible if they engage in activities related to espionage/sabotage (even if such activity would violate U.S. law if done domestically), violate export laws for sensitive goods/technology, or seek entry to oppose the U.S. government by force. It also bars spouses or children of inadmissible individuals if the qualifying activity occurred within the last five years. The changes apply directly to foreign nationals seeking visas or entry into the United States.
