H.R. 6136 would also make it more difficult for people fleeing violence and persecution in their home countries to seek asylum in the U.S. – a tenet our country was founded upon and that U.S. immigration law guarantees.

H.R. 4760 includes similar policies that would curtail legal immigration, like ending the visa lottery program and reducing the number of citizens and legal permanent residents who can sponsor family members for green cards.
