Green Card Rules May Change: US Bill Proposes Major Immigration Reset

Policy Context: Recent Changes to Immigration Rules

In late 2025, the Trump administration had moved to pause the green card lottery programme following campus shootings. Earlier that year, an executive order imposed tighter restrictions on H1B1 visas issued for specialised occupations.

Moore said the broader objective is to move away from what he described as chance-based entry into the country.

‘If you want to come to the United States, you should earn it through merit, not diversity lotteries or loopholes. The Americans First Immigration Act restores fairness and accountability by protecting American jobs, prioritising the nuclear family and ensuring that every immigrant admitted is prepared to contribute and succeed.’

Backing from Advocacy Groups

The proposal has received support from advocacy groups such as NumbersUSA, which has long argued for tighter immigration controls.

‘The Americans First Immigration Act is groundbreaking legislation that will end mass immigration and reorient our green card system to serve the national interest.

We are in the midst of the longest wave of mass immigration in American history, rooted in random selection and chain migration. Decades of broken promises have produced a system that gives away green cards through a lottery and prioritises extended-family relationships over skills — and American workers and taxpayers have paid the price.

It’s long past time that we have an immigration system that puts Americans first.’

If passed, the legislation could mark a major shift in US immigration policy, affecting how millions of applicants approach green cards and work visas.
