Speech #1100055675

Last year. we had good moral character as a requirement. Good moral character involved not being connected to terrorists. But according to current law. an alien cannot have good moral character if they are a habitual drunkard. a majority of their income comes from illegal gambling. giving false testimony for immigration benefit purposes. they have been in jail for 180 days. they have been convicted of an aggravated felony or they have engaged in genocide. torture. or extrajudicial killings. That is current law we have. But this years bill is completely missing these new terrorism bars that were in last years bill. and the bill no longer requires good moral character.
