共和党众议员奇普·罗伊谈及了涉及10名印度公民的令人担忧的签证欺诈案，这些人通过武装抢劫来钻移民法的空子。罗伊提出《暂停法案》，以暂时叫停所有移民入境，理由是美国境内外国出生居民人数达到历史最高水平。他抨击参议院拖延《拯救美国法案》的审议，呼吁在外国国民相关担忧加剧之际立即采取立法行动改革移民体系。

特朗普政府周四宣布“大幅扩大”其在西半球的签证限制政策，目标直指为美国敌对势力效力的人员。
美国国务院在公告中表示，这项扩大后的政策允许美国限制那些故意为敌对国家“损害美国利益”的人员的赴美签证。
国务院在一份新闻稿中称：“特朗普总统的国家安全战略明确表明：本届政府将阻止敌对势力拥有或控制关键资产，或威胁我国所在区域的美国安全与繁荣。”“国务院正致力于提升美国在本半球的领导力，保护我们的国土，并确保通往整个区域重要路线和区域的通道畅通。”

“为支持这一关键目标，美国国务院宣布大幅扩大现有的签证限制政策，针对那些为美国敌对势力效力、损害我们在本半球国家利益的人员，包括区域安全和民主主权，”国务院续称。
政府还表示，根据这项政策受到签证限制的个人的家庭成员将不得入境美国。

国务院称：“这项扩大后的政策使我们能够对以下人员实施赴美签证限制：在西半球国家境内、故意为敌对国家、其代理人或企业效力，明知故犯地指导、授权、资助或提供重大支持，或开展有损美国在本半球利益的敌对活动的国家国民。这些个人——以及他们的直系家庭成员——通常将无资格进入美国。”
政府认定的可能触发签证限制的敌对活动包括：帮助敌对势力获取或控制西半球的关键资产和战略资源、破坏区域安全努力、损害美国经济利益，以及开展旨在削弱本地区国家主权和稳定的影响力行动。

国务院表示，已有26人根据这项政策受到签证限制。
“为展示我们对这项扩大政策的承诺，我们已采取行动，对本半球范围内从事此类活动的26名个人实施签证限制，”国务院称。“特朗普政府将动用一切可用工具保护我们的国家安全利益，捍卫美国利益，并促进本地区的安全与繁荣。”
在此之前，本届政府近几个月来采取了一系列限制全球范围内人员签证的举措，包括对美国国务院列出的数十个国家的公民实施签证禁令，此前民权组织对此曾予以尖锐批评。
包括民权倡导者在内的批评人士对类似的签证限制政策表示担忧，称被禁止活动的宽泛定义可能引发一系列疑问，比如个人如何被认定，以及可获得何种正当程序保护。
“本届政府基于国籍针对性执法，是独裁者手册中的伎俩，目的是让美国变得更加封闭——排挤各种思想、观点和社群，”民主前进组织主席兼首席执行官斯凯·佩里曼在今年早些时候针对约75个国家暂停移民签证办理的一份声明中说道。

Republican Congressman Chip Roy discusses the alarming visa fraud scheme involving 10 Indian nationals who staged armed robberies to exploit immigration laws. Roy introduces the PAUSE Act to temporarily halt all immigration, citing the highest number of foreign-born residents in US history. He slams the Senate for stalling the Save America Act, advocating for immediate legislative action to reform the immigration system amidst rising concerns about foreign nationals.

The Trump administration on Thursday announced a “significant expansion” of its visa restriction policy in the Western Hemisphere, targeting people working on behalf of U.S. adversaries.
In its announcement, the State Department said the expanded policy allows it to restrict U.S. visas for people intentionally acting on behalf of adversarial countries to “undermine America’s interests.”
“President Trump’s National Security Strategy makes clear: this Administration will deny adversarial powers the ability to own or control vital assets or threaten the security and prosperity of the United States in our region,” the department said in a press release. “The Department of State is working to advance American leadership in our hemisphere, protect our homeland, and ensure access to vital routes and areas throughout our region.”

“In support of this critical objective, the Department of State is announcing a significant expansion of an existing visa restriction policy that targets those working on behalf of U.S. adversaries to undermine our national interests in our hemisphere, including regional security and democratic sovereignty,” the department continued.
The administration also said that family members of individuals subject to visa restrictions under this policy will not be allowed to enter the U.S.

“This expanded policy enables us to restrict U.S. visas for nationals of countries in our region who, while within Western Hemisphere countries and while intentionally acting on behalf of adversarial countries, their agents, or enterprises, knowingly direct, authorize, fund, or provide significant support to, or carry out activities that are adversarial to and undermine America’s interests in our hemisphere. These individuals – and their immediate family members – will be generally ineligible for entry into the United States,” the department said.
Activities the administration has deemed adversarial and that could trigger visa restrictions include enabling adversarial powers to acquire or control key assets and strategic resources in the Western Hemisphere, destabilizing regional security efforts, undermining American economic interests and conducting influence operations designed to weaken the sovereignty and stability of nations in the region.

The department said it has imposed visa restrictions on 26 people under this policy.
“To demonstrate our commitment to this expanded policy, we have taken steps to impose visa restrictions on 26 individuals across our hemisphere who have engaged in these activities,” the department said. “The Trump Administration will use every available tool to protect our national security interests, defend American interests, and promote our region’s safety and prosperity.”
This comes after a series of moves by the administration in recent months to restrict visas for people around the world, including a visa ban on people from dozens of countries listed by the State Department, which civil rights groups have previously sharply criticized.
Critics, including civil rights advocates, have raised concerns about similar visa restriction policies, saying broad definitions of prohibited activity can create questions about how individuals are identified and what due process protections are available.
“This administration’s targeting of people based on their national origin is part of an autocratic playbook designed to make America smaller – to shut out ideas, perspectives, and communities,” Skye Perryman, president and CEO of Democracy Forward, said in a statement earlier this year about the suspension of immigrant visa processing for people from around 75 countries.
