Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
The bill makes any alien holding a passport issued by the Palestinian Authority inadmissible to the United States.
It prohibits such passport holders from receiving visas, admission, parole, or any other benefits under the Immigration and Nationality Act.
The text contains no express exceptions, implementation details, or definitions beyond the stated prohibition.
Narrow but highly controversial; lacks compromise features and likely to provoke legal challenges and diplomatic concerns, lowering enactment odds.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward substantive policy change that clearly prescribes categorical ineligibility for holders of passports issued by the Palestinian Authority. Its legislative aim is explicit but its construction is minimal: it lacks definitional clarity, statutory amendment structure, implementation timelines, exception or transitional provisions, fiscal acknowledgement, and oversight mechanisms.

They would emphasize harms to civilians, students, and families while questioning the policy’s effectiveness on security goals.
Views the bill as aiming to advance security/diplomatic objectives but sees it as blunt.
Would seek narrower, evidence-based targeting and safeguards for innocents and lawful travelers.
Likely to support the bill as a strong, symbolic measure to deny entry to passport holders associated with an entity viewed as failing to prevent or enabling aggression.
Sees it as a tool for pressure and national security.
