H. R. 3597
To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to prohibit discrimination
in the issuance of nonimmigrant visas, and for other purposes.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MARCH 30, 1998
Mrs. MEEK of Florida (for herself, Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts, and Mr.
WATT of North Carolina) introduced the following bill; which was re-
ferred to the Committee on the Judiciary
A BILL
To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to prohibit
discrimination in the issuance of nonimmigrant visas,
and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Fairness in Issuing
of Visas Act of 1998’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds as follows:
(1) Section 202(a)(1) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1152(a)(1)(A)) prohibits,
subject to certain statutory exceptions, discrimina-
tion in the issuance of an immigrant visa because of
a person’s race, sex, nationality, place of birth, or
place of residence.
(2) In December 1997, the United States Dis-
trict Court for the District of Columbia found that,
in issuing nonimmigrant visas, consular officers use
profiles based principally on the race and national
origin of the applicant, thereby placing an additional
burden on applicants of particular nationalities and
races.
(3) The court found that the use of these pro-
files was discriminatory because they were based on
impermissible generalizations and stereotypes.
SEC. 3. PROHIBITION ON DISCRIMINATION IN ISSUANCE OF
NONIMMIGRANT VISAS.
Section 221 of the Immigration and Nationality Act
(8 U.S.C. 1201) is amended by adding at the end the fol-
lowing:
‘‘(j) Except as otherwise specifically authorized by
law, no person shall receive any preference or priority or
be discriminated against in the issuance of a non-
immigrant visa because of the person’s race, sex, national-
ity, place of birth, or place of residence.’’.
SEC. 4. REPORT.
Not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment
of this Act, the Secretary of State shall report to the Con-
gress on the steps the Secretary has taken to eliminate
prohibited discrimination in the issuance of immigrant and
nonimmigrant visas.
