The Immigration and Nationality Act grants the President broad discretion to suspend the
entry of aliens into the United States.1 H.R. 1333 would amend that act to narrow the
President's authority to impose entry or visa restrictions on aliens (non-U.S. nationals) based
on their country of birth, country of nationality, and certain other characteristics. By limiting
the President's authority to restrict entry into the United States, the bill could increase the
number of aliens who arrive in the country and receive federal benefits. However, the current
Administration has not proposed any entry or visa restrictions that would be affected by
H.R. 1333; to the contrary, it has revoked several entry and visa restrictions that had been
promulgated by the previous Administration.2 Therefore, CBO estimates that enacting
H.R. 1333 would have no budgetary effects. (CBO has no basis for predicting whether a
future Administration would seek to impose entry or visa restrictions in the absence of this
legislation.)
CBO has reviewed sections 1, 3, and 4 of H.R. 1333 and determined that those provisions
contain no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act (UMRA). CBO has not reviewed section 2 of H.R. 1333 for
intergovernmental or private-sector mandates. Section 4 of UMRA excludes from the
