Summary
What This Bill Does
This bill imposes a blanket 10-year ban on admitting any foreign nationals (aliens) to the United States. Starting from the date of enactment, no immigrant or non-immigrant visas would be granted, effectively closing the country to all foreign entry for a decade.
Who Benefits and How
- U.S.-born workers in low-wage sectors may face less labor competition in industries like agriculture, hospitality, and construction that traditionally rely on immigrant labor
- Immigration enforcement agencies such as USCIS, CBP, and ICE would have simplified mandates with blanket denial authority
Who Bears the Burden and How
- Foreign nationals seeking entry (tourists, students, workers, family members, refugees, asylum seekers) would be completely barred from legal admission
- U.S. businesses relying on foreign workers (tech, agriculture, hospitality, healthcare) would lose access to immigrant labor, H-1B workers, and seasonal workers
- U.S. citizens with foreign family members would be unable to sponsor relatives for immigration
- Universities and research institutions would lose international students and scholars
Key Provisions
- Complete 10-year prohibition on admission of all aliens
- No exceptions specified for any visa category (work, family, student, refugee)
- Applies from date of enactment through 10 years afterward
