Following the closing of the Chinese Consulate in Houston, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Wednesday introduced legislation to protect the nation from spies. Cruz and three other Republican senators created a proposal that will deny visas to anyone who has spied on or stolen intellectual property from the United States.

U.S. Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.), and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) joined Cruz to advance the Protecting America from Spies Act.
