Now. I am a member of the Homeland Security Committee and the House Judiciary Committee. and I have gone through this bill in some detail. There are some things that have absolutely nothing to do with unlawful immigration. Section 404 of the act is something I want to mention because it is going to be important to a lot of Americans. This provision provides that the Secretary may deny admission to any person from countries that unreasonably delay or deny repatriation of citizens whom we have ordered deported. That is not about unlawful immigration. it is about people who are legal residents of the United States. husbands and wives of American citizens. who can be denied admission to the United States even though they are legal because the country they were born in has done something wrong. This is the new Chinese exclusion act which we repealed.
