Siyaset·01.05.2026AI özeti Republican Congressman Barry Moore Introduces Americans First Immigration Act to Replace Green Card Lottery with Merit-Based System
Republican Congressman Barry Moore has introduced the Americans First Immigration Act, a 70-page bill that would scrap the diversity visa lottery and limit family-based immigration to spouses and minor children of citizens and green card holders. The legislation implements a points-based system evaluating applicants on English proficiency, education, salary, age and military service, requiring job offers paying at least double the state average wage. Employers must demonstrate they attempted to hire American workers first. The bill also requires migrants to affirm support for the US Constitution and renounce groups involved in practices like honor killings and female genital mutilation.
