HR 7875 United States House · 118th Congress

Every Town A Border Town Act

This bill, titled "Every Town A Border Town Act," is misleading as it does not address border towns. Instead, it requires the Secretary of State to designate MS-13 as a foreign terrorist organization upon enactment and amends immigration law to automatically consider MS-13 members as having engaged in terrorist activity for immigration purposes. It directly affects individuals associated with MS-13 by subjecting them to immigration restrictions under existing terrorism provisions. The bill creates a specific legal classification for MS-13 under the Immigration and Nationality Act, impacting visa and deportation decisions for members. This is a procedural legislative change, not a policy on border security or community designation.
