Bill > HR6225

This bill introduces significant restrictions on immigration and immigrant benefits, effectively pausing most visa issuances and status changes until specific conditions are met. The bill would prohibit visa issuance or immigration status for individuals unless new legal provisions are implemented, including restrictions on public school access for undocumented immigrants, limitations on birthright citizenship, and narrowing pathways to permanent residency. The legislation specifically bars entry or status for individuals associated with certain groups, including Islamists, members of the Chinese Communist Party, and known or suspected terrorists. Additionally, the bill would eliminate several immigrant benefits, such as Medicare, Medicaid, supplemental nutrition assistance, housing assistance, and student loans for non-citizens. The bill also introduces a substantial $100,000 fee for H-1B visa petitions, terminates the Optional Practical Training Program for international students, and eliminates the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program (also known as the green card lottery). Any immigrants who applied for visas or programs before the bill's enactment would have their applications revoked and fees refunded. The bill's provisions are comprehensive and would dramatically reshape U.S. immigration policy by creating stringent new barriers to entry and reducing available pathways for immigration.
