Summary of Bill S 3183

Bill 118 s 3183, also known as the Terrorist Inadmissibility Codification Act, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main purpose of this bill is to codify and clarify the existing laws regarding the inadmissibility of individuals who have engaged in terrorist activities.

The bill seeks to strengthen the screening process for individuals seeking entry into the United States by explicitly stating that anyone who has provided material support to a terrorist organization or engaged in terrorist activities will be deemed inadmissible. This includes individuals who have participated in acts of violence or who have provided financial or logistical support to terrorist groups.

Additionally, the bill aims to streamline the process for determining an individual's inadmissibility by requiring the Department of Homeland Security to create a list of designated terrorist organizations. This list will be regularly updated and made available to immigration officers to ensure that individuals associated with these organizations are properly identified and denied entry into the country. Overall, the Terrorist Inadmissibility Codification Act is designed to enhance national security by preventing individuals with ties to terrorist organizations from entering the United States. It is a bipartisan effort to strengthen the country's defenses against potential threats and ensure the safety of its citizens.
