In a transparent political stunt intended to prove how pro-tolerance and, more specifically, pro-Muslim they are, a group of more than 70 Democrats presented a “Religious Freedom Act” on the eve of Donald Trump’s visit to Capitol Hill that forbids the use of someone’s religion to block them from entering the country.
The group of Democrats introduced the brief, dead on arrival legislation on Wednesday, having openly crafted it as a response to Trump’s proposed “Muslim ban,” despite Trump not holding office and having walked back his original proposal already. The one-paragraph proposed amendment to the Immigration and Nationality Act says that religious tests should not be a part of the immigration process.
