Alabama Republican Rep. Barry Moore introduced a new immigration proposal that could affect millions of green card applicants and holders. He stated the bill would reshape how people enter the United States. Moore framed the bill as a reset of national priorities. The legislation aligns with the "America First" immigration agenda. The bill would narrow legal immigration channels, reduce family-based sponsorships, and eliminate the diversity visa lottery, while focusing on applicants with high-demand skills. Moore aims to rewrite parts of existing immigration law to prioritize US citizens. The proposal attempts to turn past policy moves into permanent law. This includes steps taken during Trump’s presidency to tighten legal immigration pathways. The bill seeks to base entry on measurable merit. The proposal maintains a narrow carve-out for religious workers. Another major shift is the move toward a points-based immigration system. Applicants would be scored on criteria such as English proficiency, education level, salary, age, and military service. To qualify, candidates would also need a job offer paying at least double the median wage in the state where they plan to live. NumbersUSA, an advocacy group, supports the proposal.
