HR 9514: Homeownership Eligibility Reform Act

The Homeownership Eligibility Reform Act restricts access to government-backed and private mortgage insurance for single-family homes to individuals who are U.S. citizens. Specifically, the bill amends laws governing the Federal Housing Administration, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac to require that borrowers for one-to-four-unit properties must be citizens to qualify for their mortgage products. This change directly affects foreign nationals and non-citizen residents who currently might purchase homes with these types of financing, effectively limiting their eligibility for these specific mortgage programs.

HR 9456: SNAP Citizenship and Residency Act of 2026

The SNAP Citizenship and Residency Act of 2026 would restrict access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program for certain non-citizens. Under this proposal, individuals who are not lawful permanent residents would be ineligible for benefits, even if they live in a household that otherwise qualifies. Additionally, lawful permanent residents must have lived in the United States for at least 10 years after being admitted to receive assistance. This change directly impacts the eligibility criteria for immigrants currently participating in or seeking food assistance programs.

HR 9447: Getting Terrorist Fanatics Out Act of 2026

This bill, titled the Getting Terrorist Fanatics Out Act of 2026, amends existing immigration laws to allow for the immediate revocation of citizenship for individuals convicted of specific terrorist offenses. It directly affects naturalized U.S. citizens who are found guilty under sections 2339A or 2339B of the United States Code, which relate to providing material support to designated foreign terrorist organizations. Under the new provisions, the court handling the criminal conviction would automatically cancel the person's certificate of naturalization and declare their citizenship void without requiring a separate immigration hearing. The legislation grants criminal courts the authority to make this determination as part of the trial process for the underlying terrorist charges.

HR 9063: Hire American Act

The Hire American Act mandates that only U.S. citizens or nationals can be employed by the federal government, with specific exceptions for translators, emergency field workers, international broadcasters, and short-term wildland firefighters. To enforce this rule, the bill requires new hires to sign an affidavit confirming their citizenship status and allows for penalties of fines or imprisonment for individuals who knowingly provide false information. The Office of Personnel Management is tasked with issuing implementation guidance within 180 days and must publish reports detailing any non-citizen appointments made under the allowed exceptions. Additionally, the law extends these employment restrictions to include employees of the United States Postal Service and the Postal Regulatory Commission.

HR 9479: Remigration Act

The Remigration Act introduces several strict measures to revoke U.S. citizenship and immigration status under specific conditions. It allows for the loss of naturalized citizenship if a person is convicted of government fraud, joins a terrorist organization, or commits certain serious crimes within ten years of becoming a citizen. Additionally, the bill defines citizenship for children born in the U.S. based on their parents' legal status, creates a task force to review asylum and refugee grants made between 2021 and 2025, and mandates the revocation of status for individuals from designated countries or those who received public benefits recently. The legislation also raises the English language requirement for naturalization, allows for deportation based on anti-American beliefs, and requires denaturalized individuals to repatriate with their children.

HR 9264: No Exceptions for Non-Citizens Voting Act

This bill, titled the No Exceptions for Non-Citizens Voting Act, aims to strengthen penalties for non-citizens who vote illegally in the United States. It modifies federal law to make voting by aliens a specific ground for inadmissibility and deportability under immigration statutes. The legislation also removes existing exceptions that previously allowed certain non-citizens to vote in federal elections without facing these specific immigration consequences. By updating the Immigration and Nationality Act, the bill ensures that any alien who votes in violation of any election law faces potential removal from the country.

S 4659: Election Security Partnership Act

The Election Security Partnership Act allocates $20 million in additional funding to states that agree to share their voter registration lists with the Department of Homeland Security. To receive these funds, eligible states must enter a written agreement to provide quarterly updates of their voter rolls to the SAVE system for the purpose of verifying citizenship status. This provision directly affects states participating in the 2026 election security grant program, linking financial assistance to the specific requirement of data sharing for identity verification. The bill does not alter existing election laws but creates a conditional funding mechanism based on administrative cooperation between state election officials and federal agencies.

HJRES 194: Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to prohibit any person who has citizenship or nationality of, or otherwise owes allegiance to, a country other than the United States from serving as a Representative or Senator in Congress, a Judge of the Supreme Court or any inferior court, an Ambassador, public Minister or Consul, or any other officer of the United States which requires the advice and consent of the Senate, or the President or Vice President unless the person formally and permanently relinquishes such citizenship, nationality, or allegiance.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to bar individuals who hold citizenship or owe allegiance to a foreign country from serving as U.S. President, Vice President, members of Congress, federal judges, or certain appointed officials. The key provision requires any person wishing to hold these positions to formally and permanently give up their foreign citizenship or allegiance before taking office. If ratified by the states, the rules would take effect at different times depending on the specific office, ranging from immediately upon ratification for judges to the start of the next presidential term.

HR 8827: ASSIMILATION Act

This bill, known as the ASSIMILATION Act, fundamentally restructures the U.S. immigration system by replacing family-based and lottery-based admissions with a merit-based approach that prioritizes economic self-sufficiency and national interest. It directly affects prospective immigrants, current visa holders, and employers by establishing new requirements for entry, employment, and naturalization. Key provisions eliminate the diversity visa lottery, restrict family-sponsored immigration to spouses and minor children, and mandate that all immigrants demonstrate the ability to support themselves without relying on government benefits. The legislation also introduces stricter enforcement measures, such as making visa overstays a criminal offense, expanding E-Verify to all employers, and requiring higher English proficiency and tax compliance for citizenship. Additionally, it tightens asylum rules by adding a transit bar for those passing through other countries and limits parole to specific humanitarian cases rather than broad programs.

HR 8836: Know Your American Customer Act

This bill, known as the Know Your American Customer Act, requires banks and credit unions to verify that all new and existing individual account holders are legally present in the United States. To open an account, individuals must present specific documents proving citizenship or lawful status, such as a passport, driver's license, or permanent resident card, with stricter rules applying to those with temporary visas. The law mandates that institutions freeze or close accounts for individuals who lose their legal status, though it provides a temporary grace period to allow for incoming deposits before restricting withdrawals. Additionally, the bill introduces criminal penalties, including fines and imprisonment, for individuals who illegally open or maintain accounts, while explicitly exempting those who have recently lost status or are seeking asylum.
