Six Great Immigration Solutions
The 119th Congress began on January 3, 2025. The success of this Congress to provide Americans with a better immigration policy will be measured by its ability to introduce and pass immigration bills in the categories below.
This immigration solution makes E-Verify permanent and mandatory within one year, and requires Social Security, Internal Revenue, and Homeland Security to collaborate on a program to identify unauthorized aliens, many of whom also commit some form of identity fraud or theft.
This immigration solution makes E-Verify permanent and mandatory for all U.S. employers, phasing-in its use over a period of a few years. (See Enforcement Challenges: It’s illegal to hire an unauthorized worker…but legal to never verify that authorization.)
This immigration solution will end the practice of granting automatic “birthright citizenship” to children of tourists or aliens in the country illegally. (See ReEnvisioning: Value of U.S. Citizenship.)
These immigration solutions end chain migration of extended family. (See Factsheet: How Chain Migration Works.)
This immigration solution will end the visa lottery. (See Immigration Challenges.)
No bill has been introduced in the Senate
This immigration solution would end the Optional Practical Training program (OPT) that provides incentives for employers to hire foreign students from U.S. colleges instead of American graduates for high-skill jobs.
This immigration solution would end the Optional Practical Training program (OPT) and replace the H-1B lottery with a system where visas are awarded based on the highest wages.
No Great Solutions bill has been introduced in the 119th Congress to reform other visa categories that undermine American workers. (See Immigration Challenges.)
This immigration solution will reduce asylum fraud and close loopholes to prevent future border surges. (See Enforcement Challenges.)
