Very unlikely to pass

This bill only has support from one party and deals with very controversial religious issues. It is unlikely to move past the committee stage or get a vote in the Senate.

Key Points

This bill would change the rules for people applying for a Special Immigrant Visa. These visas are usually given to people who helped the U.S. military or government in other countries, such as translators or religious workers.
Under this plan, anyone applying for this visa would have to officially reject Sharia law. Sharia law is a system of religious rules and principles followed in the Islamic faith.
Applicants would also be required to take a formal oath to support and defend the U.S. Constitution. This is intended to ensure that new residents are committed to American laws and values.
Moore and a small group of other lawmakers introduced the bill in the House. It has been sent to the House Judiciary Committee for review before it can move forward for a vote.
