This bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to conduct "assimilation likelihood screenings" for anyone applying for immigration benefits, including visas and permanent residence status. The screening would evaluate whether applicants hold views deemed incompatible with U.S. principles, are unlikely to assimilate into American culture, or would be detrimental to cultural cohesion. The bill specifies nine categories of incompatible views, including beliefs supporting religious law systems, politically motivated violence, restrictions on constitutional rights, and refusal to learn English. Anyone found to hold such views would be barred from receiving immigration benefits, and the bill would also make these factors grounds for deporting immigrants already in the country. The legislation does not specify funding amounts or implementation timelines.
