Subject: Weakening National Security via the "No Travel Ban Act"
Description: The National Origin-Based Antidiscrimination for Nonimmigrants Act, sponsored by Rep. Chu (D-CA), weakens national security by largely stripping the President of the authority to restrict travel from countries due to the addition of "religion" as a protected characteristic under the Immigration and Nationality Act. The bill is in response to President Trump's efforts to combat terrorist activities by instituting travel bans on the countries of Chad, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen, which the left has mischaracterized as a "Muslim ban." ACU recognizes that nearly every President including Obama and Biden have used this authority to protect our country and opposes the left's quest to advance an open borders foreign policy.
Result: Bill Passed, 218-208
