No Foreign Adversaries Residing in our Communities Act or the No FARC Act

This bill bars any alien who is a present or former member of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (also known as FARC) from being admitted into the United States or receiving a visa. The President may waive this prohibition on a case-by-case basis only by certifying to Congress that the waiver is in the U.S. national interest.
