What it does

The Harry Reid Immigration Stabilization Act would significantly reduce legal immigration by capping family-sponsored immigrants at 300,000 (adjusted downward based on refugee admissions and other immigration), setting employment-based immigration at a fixed 40,000 visas, and eliminating the diversity visa program. It would also limit refugee admissions to 50,000 per fiscal year, restrict petition approvals after September 30, 2026, to only immediate relatives and employment-based immigrants, and make conforming changes to family-based immigration categories, such as removing parents of adult citizens from the family-sponsored preference system and eliminating the "married sons and daughters" category. These changes aim to strengthen border security, protect American workers, and relieve pressure on public services by stabilizing immigration levels. The provisions would take effect for fiscal years after 2026.
