The No PLA Employees Act of 2026 would bar immigrants from obtaining permanent residency or citizenship if they currently work for or previously worked for companies identified by the Department of Defense as Chinese military companies or foreign institutions engaged in problematic activity. The bill amends immigration law to make such individuals "inadmissible" to the United States, meaning they cannot enter or be granted immigrant status, and also makes them subject to deportation if already in the country. This would affect foreign nationals seeking to immigrate to the U.S. who have employment ties to entities on two specific Defense Department watchlists created by laws passed in 2019 and 2021. The legislation contains no explicit funding requirements or implementation timeline, as it primarily functions as a policy restriction on immigration eligibility based on employment history.
