Bill > S1328

This bill seeks to significantly reduce family-based immigration in the United States by making several key changes to immigration law. First, the bill eliminates parents of permanent residents from the definition of "immediate relatives," meaning they would no longer be automatically eligible for immigration. The worldwide level of family-sponsored immigrants would be capped at 88,000 per fiscal year, a substantial reduction from current levels. The bill also narrows family-sponsored immigration categories to only include spouses and children of permanent resident aliens. Additionally, the bill creates a new nonimmigrant status for parents of adult U.S. citizens, allowing them to enter the country for up to 5 years under strict conditions: they cannot work, are not eligible for public benefits, and must be fully supported by their U.S. citizen child. The parent must also have health insurance provided at no cost to them. These changes would take effect in the second fiscal year following the bill's enactment, and any family-based immigration petitions filed after the bill's introduction would be considered invalid. The bill aims to fundamentally restructure family-based immigration by prioritizing nuclear families and significantly limiting extended family immigration.
