TITLE 22--FOREIGN RELATIONS AND INTERCOURSE
CHAPTER 34--THE PEACE CORPS
Sec. 2508. Foreign participants; admission into the United
States as nonimmigrants; removal
In order to provide for assistance by foreign nationals in the
training of volunteers, and to permit effective implementation of Peace
Corps projects with due regard for the desirability of cost-sharing
arrangements, where appropriate, the President may make provision for
transportation, housing, subsistence, or per diem in lieu thereof, and
health care or health and accident insurance for foreign nationals
engaged in activities authorized by this chapter while they are away
from their homes, without regard to the provisions of any other law:
Provided, however, That per diem in lieu of subsistence furnished to
such persons shall not be at rates higher than those prescribed by the
Secretary of State pursuant to section 2679 of title 22. Such persons,
and persons coming to the United States under contract pursuant to
section 2509(a)(5) of this title, may be admitted to the United States,
if otherwise qualified, as nonimmigrants under section 1101(a)(15) of
title 8 for such time and under such conditions as may be prescribed by
regulations promulgated by the Secretary of State and the Attorney
General. A person admitted under this section who fails to maintain the
status under which he was admitted or who fails to depart from the
United States at the expiration of the time for which he was admitted,
or who engages in activities of a political nature detrimental to the
interests of the United States, or in activities not consistent with the
security of the United States, shall, upon the warrant of the Attorney
General, be taken into custody and promptly removed pursuant to chapter
4 of title II of the Immigration and Nationality Act [8 U.S.C. 1221 et
seq.] \1\ proceedings under this section shall be summary and the
findings of the Attorney General as to matters of fact shall be
conclusive.
