PolicyEnding the Visa LotteryThis federal bill would end the diversity visa lottery, a program that gives people from countries with low immigration a chance to move to the United States. If passed, it would change how some families get the opportunity to come to America.

PolicyModernizing Border Entry PointsThis federal bill would set up a special fund to fix up and modernize the buildings and checkpoints where people cross the U.S. border by land. Better border crossings mean shorter wait times for travelers and faster movement of goods your family buys.

PolicyNo Asylum for CriminalsThis federal bill would stop people who have been convicted of certain crimes from being able to ask for asylum in the United States. Asylum is protection the government gives to people fleeing danger in their home countries.
