Student Visa Security Improvement Act

Bill 119 HR 414, also known as the "Student Visa Security Act," aims to enhance the security measures surrounding student visas in the United States. The bill mandates that the Secretary of Homeland Security must implement stricter background checks for individuals applying for student visas. This includes verifying the authenticity of the information provided by the applicants and conducting thorough screenings to ensure that they do not pose a threat to national security.

Additionally, the bill calls for improved monitoring of foreign students once they are in the United States. This involves tracking their movements and activities to ensure compliance with visa regulations and to promptly address any potential security concerns. The bill also aims to enhance communication and coordination between various government agencies involved in overseeing foreign students, such as the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of State.

Overall, the goal of Bill 119 HR 414 is to strengthen the security measures surrounding student visas in order to better protect the United States from potential threats posed by individuals who may abuse the student visa system. By implementing stricter background checks and improving monitoring procedures, the bill seeks to enhance national security while still welcoming foreign students to study in the United States.
