President Trump is planning to eliminate the diversity visa lottery, a program he blamed for allowing the New York City’s Halloween terror attacker in the US.
Conservative lawmakers have proposed eliminating the diversity visa lottery – in a bill that slashes legal immigration in half within a decade by limiting the ability of American citizens and legal residents to bring family members into the country.
What are the chances that this bill would get passed — and just how big of an impact would this have on immigrant families, including Filipinos?
While all of these developments are happening, should immigrant families to petition their family members — if they already can — before legal immigration is further restricted in this country?
