The No Racketeers on our Shores Act would make foreign government officials inadmissible to the United States and subject to deportation if they have engaged in economic discrimination against American citizens or businesses. The bill defines economic discrimination as initiating investigations, enforcement actions, fines, tax assessments, or other regulatory burdens against U.S. persons that are more severe, frequent, or procedurally unfavorable compared to similar actions taken against non-American parties. This legislation targets what sponsors view as discriminatory treatment by foreign governments targeting American economic interests. The bill does not include new funding or specific implementation timelines, instead amending existing immigration law to add these grounds for inadmissibility and deportability. The measure would apply to foreign government officials involved in such discriminatory practices, potentially affecting diplomats and officials from countries that the U.S. government determines have unfairly targeted American persons or entities.
