What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Somalia Immigration Moratorium Act," seeks to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act. It aims to establish a moratorium on immigration for citizens and nationals of Somalia. Under this act, no alien would be issued a visa or provided any status under immigration laws for 25 years following its enactment. There are specific exceptions for those already lawfully admitted or certain nonimmigrant visa classifications. Additionally, the bill would make citizens or nationals of Somalia ineligible for certain immigration relief.
