Fantastic Bill Introduced To Stop Chain
Migration
This may seem like a
strange time to introduce a bill.
But anything that can create some momentum for immigration cuts just before the
lame duck session in November can be worth the effort.
Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA) has introduced H.R. 6283, the Nuclear Family Priority
Act, which, if enacted would effectively end the system of "chain migration"
that has largely been responsible for immigration numbers skyrocketing from less
than 300,000 annually in the mid-1960s to around one million per year today.
Cosponsoring H.R. 6283 is, perhaps, the single most important thing that a
Member of Congress can do right now to rein in out-of-control immigration. It
would cut the number of legal immigrants admitted drastically and immediately.
In addition, it would eliminate one of the greatest catalysts for illegal
immigration by purging the sense of entitlement everybody with relatives in the
United States seems to have in thinking that they might as well come to this
country illegally since they eventually will qualify for legal status anyway.
