The "One Nation, One Visa Policy Act" mandates that the Secretary of Homeland Security must not admit any national of the People's Republic of China, or individuals holding a PRC passport, into the United States unless they possess a valid visa. This prohibition explicitly extends to nationals from the Special Administrative Unit of Hong Kong and the Special Administrative Unit of Macau , ensuring a consistent visa requirement across these regions. Furthermore, the bill strictly prohibits the use of any Department of Homeland Security funds to facilitate the participation of Chinese nationals in visa waiver programs. This includes the Guam and Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Visa Waiver Program , specifically mentioning the Economic Vitality & Security Travel Authorization Program , or any other program that would otherwise permit their admission without a valid visa. The legislation's intent is to eliminate all pathways for visa-free entry for nationals of the People's Republic of China.
