(FOX NEWS) — Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., on Thursday introduced a bill to revoke visas from close relatives of terrorists and bar them from entering the United States.
“Relatives of terrorists have no business being in our country,” Cotton told Breitbart News. “My bill would revoke visas from family members of terrorists to keep Arkansans safer.”
The “No Safe Haven for Terrorist Families Act” would revoke existing visas from terrorists’ close family members and prohibit them from obtaining any future visas.
The legislation follows reports that the niece and grandniece of the deceased Iranian Quds Force Commander, Qasem Soleimani—who are known for spreading anti-American, pro-terror propaganda—were allowed to live legally in the U.S. on visas for years, Cotton said.
