In 1995, the bipartisan Barbara Jordan Commission on Immigration Reform recommended eliminating the extended family visa categories. Congress ignored this and other recommendations, and massive legalimmigration has driven population growth—at great cost to our economy, environment, and infrastructure.
The Nuclear Family Priority Act, HR 692 (Gingrey, R-GA), would end chain migration while expediting the reunification of married couples and of parents with their young children. It would eliminate the categories of adult siblings and adult children, providing an annual decrease in immigration of over 110,000 per year. The reduction would be larger over time as there would be fewer new immigrants to sponsor additional relatives.
