Universal Security of American Values Act of 2017
A BILL
To prohibit the enforcement of certain Executive orders.
Sec. 2 Findings
The Congress finds as follows:
The Constitution is the document that embodies the fundamental laws and principles by which the United States is governed.
In a Nation of laws, not of men, no person, including the President of the United States, has the power to violate the Constitution of United States.
In a Nation whose symbol is the Statute of Liberty, which welcomes the “tired, poor and huddled masses yearning to breathe free,” the Executive order issued Friday, January 26, 2017, entitled, “Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States”, is an affront to national values and is therefore, null and void, shall have no force and effect, and may not be implemented, administered, enforced, or carried out.
Sec. 3 Prohibition
No Executive order may be enforced that would be in direct violation of an existing Executive order, public law, or fully executed regulatory agency process as it relates to—
Fourth Amendment due process;
Fourteenth Amendment protections;
the Immigration and Nationality Act;
any laws that are intended to protect the civil liberties, civil rights, or human rights of persons lawfully admitted into the United States or natural born or naturalized citizens of the United States; or
impact on individuals based upon race, religion, ethnicity, place of birth, place of residence, gender, sexual orientation and identity, age, or statuses that pose no undue health threat to the general population.
Sec. 4 No funds available
No amounts (including fees) made available to the Secretary of Homeland Security, or to any other official of a Federal agency, by any Act for any fiscal year, may be used to implement, administer, enforce, or carry out (including through the issuance of any regulations) any of the policy changes set forth in the Executive order entitled “Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States” (January 27, 2017).
