Rep Jody Hice Introduced Bill to End Chain Migration

Rep. Jody Hice (R-Ga.) has introduced H.R. 891, a bill that would eliminate the extended family visa categories (e.g., married sons and daughters of citizens, etc.), thus ending "chain migration" as recommended by the bipartisan Barbara Jordan Commission in 1997. Current immigration law allows U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents to sponsor non-nuclear, adult family members, creating an endless chain of mass legal immigration.

H.R. 891, which is one of NumbersUSA's top legislative priorities, would have the most impact in reducing the annual issuance of green cards. In FY2017, the feds issued nearly 270,000 green cards to non-nuclear family members through the family-chain categories.

This will go nowhere.

Chain migration, as much as illegal immigration, is perniciously destructive to our republic and needs to be sh*tcanned. This bill has got to pass but I'm afraid the rats will fight even harder than they do with illegal immigration to protect it.

Why weren't these bill introduced and passed when the GOP controlled the presidency and both chambers of the legislature....

Seems to me the reason is that they would have passed....

Got an issue here that's hot only with the voters.

Seems like the minute we send Snotwad to Office, the Lobbyist Agenda's/Money tie their ankles on it.
