美国众议院周三以233票赞成183票反对,通过了“废除特朗普总统有争议的旅行禁令”的法案。这项法案由众议员朱迪-朱(Judy Chu)牵头,得到219个共同提案人的支持,旨在控制总统对来自其他国家的公民实施旅行限制的权力,并禁止在与移民有关的决定中进行宗教歧视。根据这项法案,国务院和国土安全部在实施旅行限制前必须与国会协商,否则其旅行限制将被立即终止,而因为这种“不合法”的旅行限制受到伤害的个人,将能够在联邦法院起诉。特朗普曾在2017年首次发布旅行禁令,暂停来自叙利亚、伊拉克、伊朗、苏丹、利比亚、也门和索马里--这些国家都是以穆斯林为主的国家--的人入境。
该法案的支持者认为,这是推翻具有歧视性和违宪性政策的必要步骤。众议院司法委员会主席杰罗德-纳德勒(Jerrold Nadler)将这项正式名称为 "基于国家原籍的非移民反歧视法案 "的法案描述为 "至关重要的立法,它将阻止行政部门的过度干预、捍卫国会在建立移民法方面的作用,并纠正特朗普政府的原罪之一--穆斯林禁令。"而该法案的批评者则说,该法案不太可能会在“被共和党控制的”参议院中被采纳,并抨击该法案会对美国国家安全造成威胁——它将限制总统在冠状病毒大流行期间阻止移民入境美国的能力。众议院少数党党鞭史蒂夫-斯卡利斯(Steve Scalise)在辩论中说,(该法案)使任何一位总统都更难保护美国人的安全,无论是来自国外的恐怖分子,还是为了未来可能再次爆发的大流行疾病。
The House passed legislation to repeal President Trump’s controversial travel ban in a 233-183 vote along party lines on Wednesday. The legislation — spearheaded by Rep. Judy Chu (D-Calif.) and backed by 219 co-sponsors — includes language aimed at reining in the president’s ability to impose travel restrictions on citizens from other countries and bars religious discrimination in immigrant-related decisions. Under the NO BAN Act, the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security would have to consult with Congress before imposing a restriction, otherwise the directive would be immediately terminated. Individuals “unlawfully harmed” by such restrictions would be able to sue in federal court. Proponents of the legislation argue it’s a necessary step to overturn policies they view as discriminatory and unconstitutional. Trump first issued the travel ban in 2017, suspending entry to those coming from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Yemen and Somalia — all predominantly Muslim countries. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) described the bill, formally titled the “National Origin-Based Antidiscrimination for Nonimmigrants Act," as "critical legislation that will stop executive overreach, defend Congress' role in establishing our nation's immigration laws, and right one of the original sins of the Trump administration — the Muslim ban."
Republicans have slammed the bill, which is unlikely to be taken up in the GOP-controlled Senate, as “reckless,” “irresponsible” and a threat to U.S. national security. Critics of the measure say it would limit the president’s ability to stop immigration during the coronavirus pandemic. “We are spending our time with this bill that would limit it and make it more difficult for the president of the United States — any president, just because some people don't like this president, they are going to make it harder for any president — to keep Americans safe, whether it's from terrorists abroad or whether it's for health pandemics that might break out again in the future. This is lunacy,” House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) said during debate. source
