A bill to prohibit the Secretary of Homeland Security from admitting to the United States any national of the People's Republic of China without a valid visa, and for other purposes.

S. 3857, introduced by Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) in February 2026, would prohibit the Secretary of Homeland Security from admitting nationals of the People's Republic of China to the United States unless they possess a valid visa. Currently under committee consideration, the bill has not yet been voted on by the full Senate.

If enacted, this legislation would establish a requirement that Chinese citizens obtain proper visa documentation before being allowed entry into the country. This would affect travel and immigration processes for Chinese nationals seeking to visit, work, or relocate to the United States. The practical impact would depend on how the Department of Homeland Security implements and enforces the visa requirement, and whether any exceptions or waivers would be permitted under the law.
