The proposal would change immigration rules to prevent leaders of certain religious groups from entering the United States on special visas designed for religious workers. Currently, religious leaders can come to the U.S. temporarily to work at churches, temples, mosques, and other faith organizations, but this bill would block some denominations from using that pathway. The measure is still in early stages and has been sent to the House Judiciary Committee for review.
