Plain-English Summary
The PAUSE Act would temporarily halt or slow down immigration processing and admissions into the United States, likely affecting people seeking to enter the country through various legal pathways as well as immigration agencies handling applications. The bill targets immigration policy broadly, though the specific details of which programs would be paused and for how long would depend on the final legislation. This would impact prospective immigrants, their families, employers who rely on foreign workers, and immigration courts and agencies managing the system.
