Terrorist Admission Prevention Act of 2002

Summary

Terrorist Admission Prevention Act of 2002 - Establishes a temporary moratorium, with limited waiver authority by the Attorney General, on the issuance of immigrant and nonimmigrant visas (excluding diplomatic visas) to an alien who is a citizen (including multiple citizenship) or national of, or who was born in, one of the following countries: (1) Afghanistan; (2) Algeria; (3) Egypt; (4) Lebanon; (5) Saudi Arabia; (6) Somalia; (7) United Arab Emirates; (8) Yemen; or (9) any country designated as a state sponsor of terrorism. Excludes any such alien from: (1) amnesty entry; or (2) visa waiver program entry. Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to: (1) expand, and make retroactive, terrorist activity-based grounds for deportation; (2) eliminate waiver authority respecting implementation of machine readable passports; and (3) require additional information from registered aliens (and increases the monetary penalty for failure to provide notice of address change). Requires: (1) Federal border officials to inquire as to the country of birth of each person entering the United States; (2) that nonimmigrant entry visas indicate the alien's country of birth; and (3) periodic General Accounting Office reports respecting border security, alien tracking, Federal agency cooperation and reforms, and related matters.
