Third World Immigration Moratorium Act
Key claim: HR9710 (119th Congress), the Third World Immigration Moratorium Act, was referred to the House Judiciary Committee and would impose a moratorium on immigration from third-world countries.
Abstract
(HR9710 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-15): Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Why this matters
A categorical country-of-origin moratorium would represent one of the broadest restrictionist immigration proposals in the current Congress, potentially halting family-based, employment, and humanitarian pathways for nationals of a large set of countries. Tracking its committee trajectory helps situate it alongside other pending restriction bills and clarifies which populations would face suspended entry if enacted.
