Americans First Immigration Act

This bill would change the Immigration and Nationality Act in several ways. It would end the Diversity Visa Lottery and stop family-based green card petitions for parents, adult children, and siblings of U.S. citizens. Family visas would be limited to spouses and minor children. It would replace employment-based green card categories with a points-based system that scores applicants on salary, education, achievements, English skills, military service, and age, capped at 192,000 visas per year minus certain numbers. Employers would have to attest that they recruited U.S. workers first and did not lay any off, with fines and possible jail for violations. Applicants would sign a statement of values, and points-based immigrants and their families would first receive conditional permanent residence.
