The Mass Immigration Reduction Act of 2024 would implement a five-year moratorium on most immigration to the United States, during which the government would severely limit new immigration visas. The bill would reduce family-sponsored immigration to zero, cut employment-based immigration to just 5,000 visas annually, eliminate the diversity visa program, and cap refugee admissions at 25,000 per year. The moratorium could only end if the President certifies to Congress and Congress approves through joint resolution that illegal immigration has dropped below 10,000 people per year and that increased legal immigration would not harm American workers' wages, working conditions, or public services. The bill would also require immigrants to renounce other nationalities to become U.S. citizens and would restrict birthright citizenship to children with at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen, national, or lawful permanent resident. This legislation would affect millions of people seeking to immigrate or reunify with family members in the United States.
