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What the document says“the diversity visa lottery should be repealed, chain migration should be ended while focusing on the nuclear family”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What the document actually says“the diversity visa lottery should be repealed, chain migration should be ended while focusing on the nuclear family”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.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
