A United States lawmaker, Nancy Mace, is proposing legislation that would bar immigration from Somalia, Sudan and South Sudan, according to reports referencing a statement on her official website. The proposals cite security concerns and characterize the targeted countries using the label “Third World Hellholes,” as reported by Nigerian outlets. The bill is presented as an attempt to address perceived risks associated with immigration from those nations, though the reporting does not detail specific mechanisms such as the scope of the ban, affected visa categories, or enforcement timelines. The articles indicate the statement was posted on Wednesday and that the lawmaker frames the proposal as a preventive measure. The coverage summarizes the planned legislation but does not provide information from the US government beyond the lawmaker’s comments, nor does it include responses from governments in the three countries or affected communities.
