A new bill introduced by House Republicans aims to codify Donald Trump's 'America First' immigration policies. The bill seeks to significantly reduce legal immigration by prioritizing high-skilled workers, eliminating most family sponsorship categories, and ending the diversity visa lottery. Rep. Barry Moore introduced the 'Americans First Immigration Act', which would amend key provisions in the Immigration and Nationality Act. The bill aims to put American citizens first, with Moore stating that the legislation would end the practice of prioritizing illegal immigrants and foreign labor over American workers. He emphasized that the immigration system should benefit Americans by selecting individuals who will strengthen the economy, respect laws, and share American values. The 70-page bill seeks to formalize actions taken by the Trump administration to tighten legal immigration pathways. This includes measures like the pause on the green card lottery program and restrictions on H1B1 visas. The bill emphasizes a merit-based system for immigration, where individuals earn their right to come to the United States based on their qualifications rather than through lotteries or loopholes.
