Repeal the diversity visa lottery and end chain migration
What the document says“the diversity visa lottery should be repealed, chain migration should be ended while focusing on the nuclear family”
The chapter asks for a merit-based immigration system rewarding high-skilled applicants in place of what it calls a system favoring extended family and luck of the draw. It proposes repealing the diversity visa lottery, ending extended-family migration in favor of the nuclear family, and replacing the employment visa program with one awarding visas only to what it calls the best and brightest.
What the document actually says“the diversity visa lottery should be repealed, chain migration should be ended while focusing on the nuclear family”
End the visa lottery. End the rule that lets wider family follow. Keep it to close family only.
Some visas are handed out by lottery. Others let family members follow. The book wants both changed. It wants visas given for skills instead.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. The rule tightens the diversity visa lottery, requiring an entrant to provide valid unexpired passport information and upload the biographic and signature page unless exempt, and makes wording changes for consular officers. It makes the program harder to enter and harder to defraud, and leaves it in place. Nothing among the candidates repeals the lottery, ends extended family migration, or replaces the employment visa categories. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.
