Ryan/Goodlatte Immigration Deal: Temporary Reduction to Immigration Coupled with DACA Amnesty

A plan composed by House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) has been released to Breitbart News, showing that immigration will temporarily be reduced while an amnesty is provided to potentially millions of illegal aliens.

The legislation, obtained by Breitbart News, would eliminate two of the four categories of the “chain migration” process — where newly naturalized citizens can bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the U.S. — which has imported more than 10.5 million foreign nationals to the country in the last decade.

Married children and siblings of newly naturalized citizens would no longer be allowed to enter the country simply because they have family living in the U.S. The 23,400 visas for the married children of newly naturalized citizens would be moved into a “merit-based green card program” that would hold them in an escrow-style account for five years.

Also held in that escrow account are the 55,000 visas that derive from the Diversity Visa Lottery program, which would be eliminated. Since 2005, nearly 510,000 foreign nationals have won the Visa Lottery to come to the U.S.
