Summary
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) is introducing legislation to codify President Donald Trump’s travel ban on “third-world” countries. The bill would bar people from 39 countries in the Caribbean, Middle East, and Africa from entering the US. Mace argues that many immigrants from these countries have failed to assimilate into American life. The proposal comes after the Trump administration resurrected a travel ban on 12 countries in June 2025. The bill would exempt certain categories of travelers and allow the Department of Homeland Security secretary to grant case-by-case waivers.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Rep. Nancy Mace is moving forward with efforts to codify President Trump’s sweeping travel ban. The bill would bar people from 39 countries from entering the US. The countries on the list are among the poorest in the world and have struggled with instability and terrorism. Mace’s legislation would exempt certain categories of travelers and allow the Department of Homeland Security secretary to grant case-by-case waivers. The bill is likely to face opposition from Democrats and some Republicans. Mace is serving the final months of her House term after losing her bid for South Carolina governor earlier this year.
It seems that the travel ban has become a familiar refrain in the immigration debate.
