The House voted Friday to pass legislation barring noncitizens from receiving Small Business Administration loans in an attempt to codify the Trump administration’s guidelines.
The GOP-controlled chamber voted 217-190, with eight Democrats joining Republicans in voting for the bill. The American Entrepreneurs First Act of 2025 ensures that SBA funds will only be available to American citizens by requiring loan applicants to prove their citizenship.
