Section 412 of the Immigration and Nationality Act ( 8 U.S.C. 1522 ) is amended by adding at the end the following: Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, a State, without penalty under this section or any other provision of law, may refuse to expend funds received under this section with respect to an alien described in paragraph (2), except that a State may not refuse to expend such funds with respect to an alien described in section 1244(b) of the Refugee Crisis in Iraq Act of 2007 ( 8 U.S.C. 1157 note).
An alien is described in this paragraph if the alien— is a national of a country that is a state sponsor of terrorism or a terrorist sanctuary; or has no nationality and the country in which the alien last habitually resided is a state sponsor of terrorism or a terrorist sanctuary. In this subsection: The term state sponsor of terrorism means any country the government of which the Secretary of State has determined has repeatedly provided support for international terrorism pursuant to— section 6(j) of the Export Administration Act of 1979 ( 50 U.S.C.
App. 2405 ); section 620A of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 ( 22 U.S.C. 2371 ); or section 40 of the Arms Export Control Act ( 22 U.S.C. 2780 ).
