1. Getting rid of DV lottery (and therefore NACARA)
2. Parents are removed from sponsorship entirely (IR and VAWA cases)
3. Family based immigration is reduced to 88,000 (down from 480,000), imagine the backlogs now. Further reduced by:
a. People paroled into US who did not leave within 1 year or adjusted status.
b. Anyone granted adjustment under a provision exempt from numerical limitations (so basically any special adjustment method: IR, S/T/U- Visa Adjustment, Registry, and so on and so forth.
5. F1, F2B, F3, and F4 categories are REMOVED ENTIRELY.
6. Creation of W-visa for 5 year period for parents of USCs, no employment authorization, no pathway to anything, valid for renewal only while the USC child remains in US.
7. Invalidation of any petition removed by this act.

Tom Cotton should be shot as should the only cosponsor of this crappy bill - David Perdue.
