New GOP Immigration Bill

11/28/2012

1 Comment

 
 House Judiciary Committee Chair, Lamar Smith, introduced a new
immigration bill this week. The focus of the bill is to replace one program with
a new program.

Currently, we have an immigration program called Diversity Lottery. The diversity lottery is basically a lottery for citizens of particular countries which are not substantially represented in the United States. Folks from that country specific list enter the lottery, and if their number is picked, they could have the opportunity of obtaining permanent residence in the U.S.  There has been some controversy regarding the diversity lottery in the past because  critics argue that it can give people a free pass of obtaining a U.S. Green Card, which can been seen as “not
fair.”

 The GOP Bill will get rid of the diversity lottery program and give more visas to people with advanced high-tech degrees. The proposed bill would allow 55,000 of these visas. My question is whether this bill will cure the immigration issues raised by others about our immigration problem.

 What do you think?
