Chain Migration: S. 744-votes (2013)

Grade Categories: 
Correct Action Text: 
Voted against S. 744, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act. The legislation, a massive comprehensive amnesty bill introduced by the Gang of 8, would have increased the number of family-based green cards issued over the first 10 years by clearing the backlog of more than 4 million foreign nationals who are awaiting green cards. While the bill would eliminate some family-based green card categories, they would be replaced by a merit-based system that places heavy emphasis on extended family members.
