Immigration Halt: End of Visa Lottery, New Citizenship and Benefits Rules.
This bill immediately halts the issuance of most visas and immigration statuses until major legal changes are implemented. These changes include restricting birthright citizenship, eliminating key visa programs (like the DV Lottery and OPT for students), and severely limiting immigrants' access to public benefits, healthcare, and housing assistance. Furthermore, employers hiring H-1B workers will face a new, substantial fee of $100,000 per petition.

A nationwide pause on issuing most visas and granting immigration status until restrictive new laws are enacted.

Eliminates the Diversity Visa Lottery and the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program for foreign students.
Bans access to most public benefits (Medicare, SNAP, housing aid) for non-citizens.
