The Americans First Immigration Act, a 70-page bill, would prioritize high-skilled workers, eliminate most family sponsorships, and end the diversity visa lottery while preserving 3,000 annual visas for religious workers.
The bill introduces a points-based merit system for employment visas, requires English proficiency, and mandates employers to prove efforts to hire Americans first, with oversight by the Department of Labor.
Family-sponsored immigration would be limited to spouses and minor children, barring parents, siblings, and adult children. The legislation reflects ongoing partisan divides over immigration policy in Washington.
