HRES 1490: Providing for the condemnation and denouncement of socialism in all its forms, and for other purposes.

This resolution states that the House of Representatives condemns and denounces socialism in all its forms, including the Democratic Socialists of America, and opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States; reaffirms its support for free, fair, and secure elections and calls for enactment of the SAVE America Act; reiterates that American elections are for American citizens only; and recommits itself to upholding the U.S. Constitution.

HR 10222: No HUD Funding for Sanctuary Cities Act

This bill would prohibit any state or local government designated as a "sanctuary jurisdiction" from receiving grant funds distributed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). A jurisdiction is defined as a sanctuary if it has laws, policies, or practices that restrict officials from sharing information about an individual's immigration status or from complying with federal requests to detain or notify about the release of individuals. The funding restriction would apply to grants distributed 180 days after the bill's enactment. To determine which jurisdictions qualify for this ineligibility, the HUD Secretary is required to consult with the Secretary of Homeland Security.

HR 9824: Daycare Not Detentions Act of 2026

The Daycare Not Detentions Act of 2026 provides additional funding to the Department of Health and Human Services to support child care programs, including the Child Care and Development Block Grant, Head Start, and preschool development grants. These funds are intended to help states and organizations cover necessary expenses for these programs through fiscal year 2029. The bill also rescinds $70 billion in previously allocated money for U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement that has not yet been spent. Overall, the legislation redirects federal resources toward early childhood education and care rather than immigration enforcement activities.

HJRES 206: Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to require that any Representative or Senator be a natural born citizen.

This bill proposes adding a new requirement to the U.S. Constitution that only natural-born citizens can serve as members of the House of Representatives or the Senate. It would change the current rules by explicitly stating that anyone who is not a natural-born citizen is ineligible for these offices, though it allows current officeholders to finish their existing terms before the ban takes effect. If passed and ratified, this change would prevent naturalized citizens from ever holding a seat in Congress, regardless of how long they have lived in the country.

HR 9928: No Discounts for Foreigners Act

The No Discounts for Foreigners Act prohibits the Secretary of Homeland Security from waiving or reducing fees for U.S. citizenship applications, with the exception of current or former members of the Armed Forces. This law directly affects individuals seeking naturalization by ensuring they pay the full standard fee, while military personnel retain their existing fee reduction benefits. The bill removes the discretion to offer financial relief for citizenship applications but maintains special provisions for those who have served in the military.

HR 9633: Birthright Citizenship Clarification Act of 2026

The Birthright Citizenship Clarification Act of 2026 would amend federal law to change how citizenship at birth is determined for children born in the United States. Under this proposal, a child born in the U.S. to parents who are present temporarily or unlawfully would not automatically receive citizenship, while also preserving historical exceptions for children of foreign diplomats and those born on foreign ships. The bill specifically defines temporary presence to include holders of student, work, tourist, and other nonimmigrant visas, as well as participants in the Visa Waiver Program. These changes would apply only to individuals born after the law takes effect, leaving the citizenship status of those born before that date unchanged.

HR 9514: Homeownership Eligibility Reform Act

The Homeownership Eligibility Reform Act restricts access to government-backed and private mortgage insurance for single-family homes to individuals who are U.S. citizens. Specifically, the bill amends laws governing the Federal Housing Administration, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac to require that borrowers for one-to-four-unit properties must be citizens to qualify for their mortgage products. This change directly affects foreign nationals and non-citizen residents who currently might purchase homes with these types of financing, effectively limiting their eligibility for these specific mortgage programs.

HR 9199: Permanent Trump Secure Border Act

This bill, titled the Permanent Trump Secure Border Act, aims to strengthen border security and reform immigration enforcement by directing the Department of Homeland Security to resume and complete the construction of a physical border wall, expand the use of surveillance technology, and increase staffing levels for Border Patrol agents. It also imposes stricter rules on asylum eligibility and employment authorization for applicants, mandates the reopening of specific immigration detention facilities, and requires the return of individuals arriving from contiguous foreign countries to those nations while their claims are processed. Additionally, the legislation expands penalties for visa overstays, limits the use of certain digital tools like the CBP One app, and includes provisions to reduce funding for organizations that facilitate illegal entry or provide services to inadmissible aliens.

S 4317: No Licenses for Illegal Drivers or Truckers Act of 2026

This bill requires states to verify that applicants for driver's licenses, commercial licenses, and state ID cards have lawful presence in the United States before issuing them. To enforce this, the legislation mandates that states use approved methods to electronically validate biometric data, conduct background checks, and cross-reference tax and social security records with federal agencies. If a state fails to implement and enforce these verification procedures by October 1, 2026, the federal government will withhold 10% of the state's transportation funding until compliance is achieved. Any withheld funds are then redistributed proportionally to states that have met the new requirements. The bill does not alter existing REAL ID standards but adds a specific layer of immigration status verification to the licensing process.

HR 8302: Stop Illegal Aliens Drunk Driving

This bill, HR 8302, amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to change how certain driving offenses are treated for immigration purposes. It expands the definition of an "aggravated felony" to include offenses where a non-citizen drives while intoxicated or impaired and causes death or serious bodily injury to another person, regardless of whether the conviction is classified as a misdemeanor or felony under local law. Consequently, any non-citizen convicted of such an offense would be deemed "inadmissible" to the United States. These provisions take effect upon enactment and apply to relevant actions taken on or after that date, even if the underlying conviction occurred before the bill's passage.
