Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 3648) to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to eliminate the per-country numerical limitation for employment-based immigrants, to increase the per-country numerical limitation for family-sponsored immigrants, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 7946) to provide benefits for noncitizen members of the Armed Forces, and for other purposes; and for other purposes.
HRES 1508 is a procedural resolution that establishes the rules for considering two immigration-related bills in the House: H.R. 3648, which would eliminate per-country numerical limits for employment-based immigration and increase them for family-sponsored immigration, and H.R. 7946, which would provide benefits for noncitizen members of the Armed Forces. The resolution waives points of order against these bills and sets specific debate procedures, including one hour of equally divided debate on each bill. This resolution does not change immigration policy itself but outlines how the House will process these two bills.
