Chip Roy (R-Texas) has introduced sweeping legislation that would expand U.S. immigration restrictions to target migrants affiliated with or advocating for socialism, communism, or what the bill defines as "Islamic fundamentalist" groups, according to a proposal unveiled Monday and detailed in an official statement from his office.
