The president at the end of January expanded the travel ban to Myanmar, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Sudan, Tanzania and Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa. A Democratic amendment to terminate those latest restrictions was approved, 19-8, during the markup.

The bill would also strengthen nondiscrimination protections in the Immigration and Nationality Act to prohibit discrimination based on religion. The law states that immigrants cannot be denied a visa based on "race, sex, nationality, place of birth, or place of residence." These protections would be extended to non-immigrant visas.

 

Was this truly approved?

May have been approved in a House Committee, but not relevant. Political posturing.

Yea, the republicans rule the house so it is not expected to stand from what I hear. Be nice if it did though.

Misprint, sorry but this vote won't matter any way. Unfortunately. My husband is from a travel ban country and it would be great if the vote mattered. It's all a wait and see situation.

No problem and I agree, seems Nigeria will pick up their game. So just a question of when.
