HR 6940 United States House · 118th Congress

Mass Immigration Reduction Act of 2024

HR 6940, the Mass Immigration Reduction Act of 2024, establishes a 5-year moratorium on most immigration by setting strict annual limits. It directly affects immigrants seeking family reunification (capping family-sponsored visas at zero), employment-based visas (capping at 5,000 annually), and refugees (limiting admissions to 25,000 per year). Key provisions include banning diversity visas, requiring citizenship renunciation for naturalization, and restricting birthright citizenship to children of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. The bill requires the President to submit a report to Congress after 5 years confirming reduced illegal immigration and no negative impacts on wages or public services before ending the moratorium.
