Sen. Rick Scott Leads One Nation, One Visa Policy Act to End Obama-Era Program Allowing Visa-Free Chinese Nationals to Infiltrate U.S. Territories
February 18, 2026
WASHINGTON, D.C.
– Today, Senator Rick Scott introduced the
One Nation, One Visa Policy Act
to prohibit Communist Chinese nationals from entering the United States without a valid visa and barring them from participating in any visa-free travel program, including the Guam–Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Visa Waiver Program. This follows Senator Scott’s
SAFE KIDS Act
and recent
letter
to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Department of the Interior Secretary Doug Burgum urging the closure of dangerous Biden- and Obama-era programs that allow nationals from Communist China fast-track access to United States citizenship and exploit the U.S. surrogacy program, putting the safety of our country and its citizens at risk.
Senator Rick Scott
said, “Communist China has a track record for exploiting America’s weaknesses to advance its interests and undermine our national security, and the horrific reports of how they have exploited an Obama-era visa program is a prime example. This program provided Chinese nationals a visa-free fast-track to U.S. territories allowing them to establish a backdoor breeding ground to infiltrate our nation. My
One Nation, One Visa Policy Act
makes it crystal clear that no part of the United States, including our territories, will be abused by Communist China. It’s time to shut Communist China’s back door into our nation by eliminating this reckless program and ensuring the full vetting of any Chinese national who wishes to come to our nation.”
