Plain-English Summary
This bill would overhaul U.S. immigration law by making it harder to immigrate through family connections, eliminating the diversity visa lottery, tightening rules for who can claim asylum, and requiring all employers to verify workers are legally authorized to work. It would also increase penalties for overstaying visas, change citizenship requirements, and restrict certain work visa programs like H-1B visas and student work permits. The changes would affect immigrants seeking to enter or stay in the country, employers who hire workers, and families trying to reunite relatives from abroad.
