    Well this is good news...

    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.


    Now I realize this doesn't have any chance of passing the current Congress, but I do think it's important to to get positive positions, attached to real legislation, out there to be discussed in the public sphere.

    This is the most recent OP, so I am posting this here, in hopes of igniting discussion about, "What does it mean to be an American in a free society?"
