- A new bill has been proposed by House Conservative, Rep. Andy Ogles, aiming to reform the current U.S. immigration system.
- The legislation seeks to eliminate the practice of chain migration, which allows family members of current immigrants to move to the U.S.
- It also proposes to end the diversity visa lottery, which serves to increase diversity by randomly selecting applicants from countries with low immigrant rates to the U.S.
- The proposed reform intends to shift the immigration system towards a merit-based approach.
- The focus of the new merit-based system would be on the national interest, possibly prioritizing skills and qualifications that benefit the U.S. economy and society.
- This sweeping effort is part of a broader agenda by some lawmakers to overhaul how immigrants are selected to ensure alignment with U.S. priorities and needs.
