Third World Immigration Moratorium Act

This bill would bar people who are nationals of 40 listed countries, including Afghanistan, Haiti, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, Nigeria and Somalia, from entering the United States. It would also bar entry for people holding travel documents issued by the Palestinian Authority. The ban would apply only to people who are outside the U.S. and do not have a valid visa on the date the law takes effect. Exceptions include lawful permanent residents, dual nationals of a non-listed country, diplomats, athletes traveling for major sporting events, and certain others, and the Secretary of Homeland Security could grant case-by-case waivers. The Secretary of State would report to Congress every 180 days on whether the ban should continue, end, or change.
