Rep. Jeff Duncan calls it “No-fly, goodbye,” but the official name is the Terrorist Deportation Act.
The South Carolina Republican introduced legislation Tuesday that would deport all non-citizens living in the United States who are on the terror watch lists, revoking their visas and bans them from re-entering the country.
It's wrong to respond to the terrorist attacks of 9/11, Fort Hood, Boston, Chattanooga, Little Rock, San Bernardino, Orlando, St. Cloud and Chelsea by punishing innocent, law-abiding Americans.

“Freeing up law enforcement resources by reducing the number of people residing in the United States who are suspected of terrorism will keep America safer,” Duncan said Wednesday in a statement.
The watch list, formally called the Terrorist Screening Database, is combined from several sources and is much larger than the no-fly list. Duncan argued Wednesday that individuals in that database have already been deemed likely to be involved with terrorist activity by the Department of Homeland Security.
