The bill was introduced by Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (Democrat, Texas).

The bill that appears to have the best chance of passing the US Congress taste test is

The bill introduced on January 10, 2018 proposes the largest reduction of family-based visas, from 226,000 to only 87,934 yearly while increasing the employment-based visa allocations, from 140,000 to 195,000 annually worldwide and creating a new H-2C for agricultural workers.

HR 4760 also would now authorize consular officers to require DNA testing to establish family relationships. Currently, visa and adjudication officers may suggest DNA testing, but they may not require it.

The Goodlatte bill appears to have the backing of conservatives and thus the best chance of moving forward.

• Require all businesses to use - plicant’s eligibility (immigration status) to work through E-verify. • Abolition of the diversity visa lottery • Ending the catch-and-release procedure by explicitly requiring ICE to detain illegal aliens who are a risk.

• Increased hiring of 5,000 new border agents and 5,000 new ICE agents; construction of a “full border wall” and require a complete exit-entry visa tracking.

Overstaying and overbearing

The Goodlatte bill would require the Secretary of Homeland Security to provide a report on the number of those who have overstayed their visas. The overstayers shall be categorized based on their country of origin when and where they were admitted with valid visas. The unwritten provision does not describe how the overstayers would be monitored

An amendment that the Conservative Review proposed would enable HR 4674 to become law is deterring or criminalizing going to the US to give birth.

Ekaterina is among the tens of thousands of birth mothers who spend tens and thousands of dollars to get their babies the American passport – which to millions more outside or inside the United States complete the American dream.

To the 800,000 Dreamers in the US – minors who were brought into the US by their parents—the Goodlatte bill is a developing nightmare, a bitterly roasted legislative blend that should not be in America’s immigration menu.
