ASSIMILATION Act

This bill would change many parts of federal immigration law. It would limit family-based green cards to spouses and children under 18 of citizens and permanent residents, end the diversity visa lottery, and create a temporary 5-year visa for parents of adult citizens that does not allow work or public benefits. It would cap employment-based green cards at 140,000 per year under a new national-interest test, cap H-1B visas at 50,000 per year with a wage floor of 200 percent of the median, and end work authorization for F-1 students. It would also raise sponsor income and bond requirements, add criminal penalties for visa overstays, limit parole to 90 days, extend the residence period for naturalization to 10 years, require a higher English level, and limit birthright citizenship to children with at least one citizen or permanent resident parent.
