Key Points

  • This bill, introduced by Representative Roy, would change immigration laws to block any non-citizen who follows Sharia law from entering the United States. This would apply to anyone applying for a visa, a green card, or any other legal immigration status.
  • People who are already living in the U.S. but are not yet citizens could be deported if the government decides they follow Sharia law. Their legal status would be canceled, and they would be required to leave the country.
  • If an immigrant is found to have lied to the government about whether they follow Sharia law, they would lose their legal status and face automatic deportation.
  • The bill gives the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security the final power to make these decisions. It specifically states that these decisions cannot be challenged or reviewed in any court of law.
  • The proposal aims to restrict immigration based on religious and legal beliefs, which the sponsors argue is necessary for national security.
