Legislate end of diversity lottery, chain migration; mandate E-Verify; cabin parole

Mandate’s USCIS legislative agenda includes repealing the diversity visa lottery, ending chain migration beyond nuclear family, replacing employment visas with a skills system, permanently mandating E-Verify, and ending parole abuse via statute.

Mandate

Mandate Ch. 5 (Department of Homeland Security) — USCIS legislative agenda: diversity visa lottery should be repealed; chain migration ended while focusing on nuclear family; existing employment visa program replaced with skills system; permanently authorize and make mandatory E-Verify; end parole abuse by legislating specific parole standards.

Undo plan

1) Defend diversity and family-unity channels pending comprehensive reform debate. 2) Design E-Verify mandates with worker privacy, error-correction, and anti-discrimination safeguards. 3) Preserve humanitarian and public-interest parole categories Congress has long allowed. 4) Pair enforcement with realistic legal immigration levels for labor and refugee needs. 5) Verify: legislative scorecards; E-Verify tentative nonconfirmation error rates.
