Rep. Phil Gingrey introduces the Nuclear Family Priority Act

On February 8, 2007 Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Ga.) introduced H.R. 938, The Nuclear Family Priority Act, which would :
-Eliminate chain migration;

-Expedite reunification of nuclear families (i.e., married couples and parents with their young children);

-and
Relieve the workload that overwhelms the immigration system and undermines homeland security.

Currently, 22 Members of the U.S. House of Representatives co-sponsor this critical bill. The list is growing every day.

If enacted, the Nuclear Family Priority Act would implement one of the key recommendations of former Rep. Barbara Jordan (D-Texas),
the chair of the bi-partisan U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform. The
Jordan Commission found that America’s national interests would best be
served by eliminating extended family-based immigration categories, and
it urged that nuclear family members become the sole family-based
priority. To fight economic injustice, the Commission urged a reduction
in immigration numbers that are now so high as to harm the most
vulnerable American workers and their families.
