BOOT Sharia Law Act

This bill would change federal immigration law so that certain noncitizens could not be found to have "good moral character," a requirement for citizenship and some other benefits. This would apply to noncitizens who adhere to or advocate Sharia law in a way that would violate others' legal rights, or who take part in protests supporting groups or countries that are state sponsors of terrorism, have attacked the United States, or oppose the U.S. form of government or Constitution. The bill would bar asylum and refugee status for people who used force to enforce Islamic values, conversions to Islam, Islamist political goals, or Islam as a state religion, and would bar refugees and asylees in similar cases from getting green cards. It would also require the Attorney General to take back permanent resident status, within 10 years of it being granted, from people who took part in such protests.
