The bill sharply restricts immigration for a decade to reduce migration pressure and standardize enforcement, but at the cost of barring immigrants (including asylum seekers), causing labor and revenue losses, and creating diplomatic and legal disruptions.
Border communities and federal immigration posts: nationwide visa and admission numbers would fall sharply for 10 years, reducing short-term migration pressure at ports of entry and consular posts.
Federal agencies and personnel: a single uniform 10-year policy would simplify enforcement and processing rules, giving DHS and consulates clearer guidance and reducing procedural variation.
All immigrants (including family members and prospective workers): a 10-year blanket bar on entry would prevent family reunification and lawful immigration, cutting off many established pathways to come to the U.S.
U.S. employers, industries, and taxpayers: widespread labor shortages and reduced immigration-related tax revenue could raise costs, disrupt services, and increase fiscal pressures on businesses and communities that rely on immigrant labor.
Asylum seekers and refugees: effectively denying entry would put people fleeing persecution at heightened risk and could violate U.S. obligations under international refugee and asylum norms.

Prohibits admission of any noncitizen into the United States for 10 years beginning on the date of enactment.
Introduced December 3, 2025 by Paul Gosar · Last progress December 3, 2025
Prohibits the admission of any alien to the United States for a period of 10 years beginning on the date the law is enacted. The ban is nationwide and applies to all categories of admission unless the text elsewhere creates exceptions (none provided here). This action would immediately stop new lawful entries tied to immigrant and nonimmigrant visas, refugee admissions, asylum at ports of entry, and other formal admissions processes. It would affect immigrants, border communities, employers and schools that use visa programs, federal agencies that process admissions, and likely trigger lawsuits and operational disruption at ports of entry and U.S. consulates abroad.
