Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) has introduced legislation aimed at preventing students from adversarial countries, particularly China and Iran, from obtaining student visas to study in the United States.

Tuberville announced his legislation, the Student Visa Integrity Act (S. 2555), in a statement on July 31. He said he was “recently shocked” to learn how many students from hostile countries were studying at U.S. universities, including institutions in Alabama.
