Green Card Rules May Change: US Bill Proposes Major Immigration Reset

Green Card Rules May Change: US Bill Proposes Major Immigration Reset

A new immigration proposal introduced in the United States is stirring debate over the future of green cards, visas and legal migration pathways. The legislation, brought forward by Alabama Republican Representative Barry Moore, aims to significantly reshape how individuals enter the country. Framed as a reset of national priorities, the proposal seeks to tighten immigration rules while placing greater emphasis on economic contribution and merit-based selection. A Push to Redefine Immigration Priorities Announcing the Bill, Moore said the objective is to overhaul the existing system and prioritise American workers. “Today, I introduced the Americans First Immigration Act to overhaul our immigration system. The days of putting illegals, random diversity lotteries and foreign labour ahead of American workers are over. It’s time our system serves Americans again,” he said in a post on X. The proposal aligns closely with the “America First” immigration agenda associated with former US President Donald Trump, reported Business Standard. What the Bill Seeks to Change According to reports, the legislation proposes a sweeping set of changes to legal immigration. These include narrowing existing pathways, reducing family-based sponsorship categories and eliminating the diversity visa lottery. At the same time, the Bill shifts the focus towards applicants with high-demand skills, marking a move away from existing structures that combine family ties and lottery-based allocations. Moore said the aim is to rewrite portions of current immigration law to ensure that the system benefits US citizens. “My Bill draws a hard line -  the days of putting illegals, random diversity lotteries and foreign labour ahead of American workers are over. Our immigration system should serve the American people, not undercut them, and that means selecting individuals who will strengthen our economy, respect our laws, and share our values.” Also Read : ‘Chotu’ Cylinder Shock: 5 Kg LPG Price Hiked, Here’s What You Pay Now From Lottery to Merit: A System Overhaul One of the most significant proposals in the Bill is the elimination of the diversity visa lottery, which has historically allocated green cards through a random selection process. In its place, the legislation proposes a points-based system that would assess applicants on multiple criteria, including English proficiency, education level, salary, age and military service. Applicants would also need to meet stricter economic thresholds, including securing a job offer that pays at least double the median wage in the state where they intend to reside, along with meeting language requirements. Limited Exceptions and Structural Changes While the Bill calls for scrapping the diversity lottery, it retains a limited provision for religious workers, preserving approximately 3,000 visas annually under that category. The proposal, spanning around 70 pages, also aims to codify several immigration measures introduced during the Trump administration, including steps to tighten legal migration pathways. Policy Context: Recent Changes to Immigration Rules In late 2025, the Trump administration had moved to pause the green card lottery programme following campus shootings. Earlier that year, an executive order imposed tighter restrictions on H1B1 visas issued for specialised occupations. Moore said the broader objective is to move away from what he described as chance-based entry into the country. “If you want to come to the United States, you should earn it through merit, not diversity lotteries or loopholes. The Americans First Immigration Act restores fairness and accountability by protecting American jobs, prioritising the nuclear family and ensuring that every immigrant admitted is prepared to contribute and succeed.” Also read : Did Elon Musk Really Earn Rs 1,50,57,38,42,00,000 In 2025? Here’s The Truth Backing from Advocacy Groups The proposal has received support from advocacy groups such as NumbersUSA, which has long argued for tighter immigration controls. “The Americans First Immigration Act is groundbreaking legislation that will end mass immigration and reorient our green card system to serve the national interest. We are in the midst of the longest wave of mass immigration in American history, rooted in random selection and chain migration. Decades of broken promises have produced a system that gives away green cards through a lottery and prioritises extended-family relationships over skills — and American workers and taxpayers have paid the price. It’s long past time that we have an immigration system that puts Americans first.” If passed, the legislation could mark a major shift in US immigration policy, affecting how millions of applicants approach green cards and work visas.

Airtel vs Jio vs Vi: Which Recharge Plan Gives You The Best OTT Deal

Airtel vs Jio vs Vi: Which Recharge Plan Gives You The Best OTT Deal

The way people in India watch content has shifted. OTT platforms have made it possible to stream movies, shows, and live sports at any time, without depending on theatre schedules or television timings. As individual OTT subscriptions have become more expensive, telecom companies have stepped in with bundled recharge plans that include streaming access.  Airtel, Jio, and Vi now offer prepaid and postpaid plans that combine data, calling benefits, and OTT access under a single recharge. For many users, these bundles have become a practical way to manage both mobile usage and entertainment costs without paying for each service separately. What OTT Platforms Does Airtel Offer With Its Recharge Plans? Airtel includes OTT benefits in several of its mid-range and premium recharge plans. Platforms such as Netflix, Disney+ Hotstar, Zee5, and Airtel Xstream Play are bundled with select prepaid and postpaid options. Plans priced at Rs 279, Rs 598, and Rs 1,729 vary mainly in validity and data limits.  ALSO READ: iPhone 17 Users Are Reporting A Charging Bug Apple Has Not Fixed Yet Airtel also extends OTT access to some of its broadband plans. One consistent aspect of Airtel's approach is that it tends to keep the same set of platforms across its bundles, which makes it easier for users to know what they are getting each time they recharge. Which Jio Plan Gives Access To The Most Streaming Platforms? Reliance Jio takes a broader approach by packing more streaming platforms into its recharge options. Its plans include access to Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar, SonyLIV, Zee5, Discovery+, and JioCinema. Some plans also offer Netflix, though this is not available across all options.  Recharge prices start around Rs 398 and go up to annual plans priced above Rs 3,000. Jio's bundles cover a wide range of content, including movies, sports, originals, and live TV. However, Netflix access remains limited to selected plans only. How Are Vi's OTT Recharge Plans Different From Airtel And Jio? Vodafone Idea, commonly known as Vi, focuses on longer validity rather than packing in the most platforms. Several Vi recharges include Netflix access along with OTT content through Vi Movies and TV.  ALSO READ: Using WhatsApp On iPhone? Liquid Glass Update Is Coming To Your Chat Screen Plans such as Rs 1,198 and Rs 1,599 also come with unlimited night data between 12 am and 6 am, allowing users to stream during late hours without eating into their daily data limits. This makes Vi a practical option for users who prefer fewer recharges over the course of a year and want flexibility in how they use their data. How To Pick The Right OTT Telecom Plan For Your Needs? No single plan works for everyone. Airtel suits users who prefer a consistent and predictable set of OTT platforms with each recharge. Jio is a better fit for those who want access to the widest range of streaming services under one plan. Vi works well for users who prioritise longer validity and flexible data usage, particularly those who stream during nighttime hours.  As OTT bundling becomes a standard part of mobile recharges in India, the choice increasingly comes down to viewing habits, data needs, and which platforms a user actually watches, rather than price alone.

Iran War Could Trigger Food Shortages; Billions Of Meals At Risk: Fertiliser Giant

Iran War Could Trigger Food Shortages; Billions Of Meals At Risk: Fertiliser Giant

US Iran War Food Crisis: The ongoing conflict in Iran is beginning to send shockwaves through global supply chains, with experts warning of a potential food security crisis, particularly in vulnerable regions like Africa. Disruptions to fertiliser supplies and rising costs could sharply reduce agricultural output in the months ahead. Svein Tore Holsether, CEO of Yara International, cautioned that the situation could trigger a “global auction” for fertiliser, where wealthier nations outbid poorer ones, deepening global inequality, as reported by BBC. Fertiliser Shock Threatens Crop Yields Holsether highlighted that while Africa has the potential to become a major food producer, it remains heavily dependent on imported fertiliser. If prices continue to rise, many farmers may be unable to afford essential inputs, leading to significantly lower crop yields. Yara, which operates across 60 countries and supplies 140 markets, has already reported an 80% increase in fertiliser prices since the conflict began. A key factor is the disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly a third of the world’s fertiliser supply typically passes. Supply Chain Strain and Regional Impact Analysts at S&P Global Market Intelligence note that restrictions on fuel and fertiliser are already placing pressure on global food supply chains. Without sufficient nitrogen fertiliser, yields for certain crops could fall by up to 50% in a single growing season. The impact, however, will vary across regions. In Europe, planting cycles are already underway, while in parts of Asia, the agricultural season is just beginning. This means the full effect of shortages may only become visible later in the year, when reduced harvests translate into higher food prices. Farmers Face Mounting Pressure Farmers worldwide are grappling with rising input costs, including fuel, energy, and fertiliser. However, crop prices have not increased at the same pace, squeezing margins and limiting their ability to absorb shocks. Paul Teng warned that while some countries may have enough fertiliser for the current planting season, a prolonged disruption could threaten staple crops such as rice in the months ahead. Risk Of Global Food Inequality The United Nations has cautioned that a prolonged conflict could lead to a bidding war for food supplies. Wealthier nations may be able to secure sufficient resources, but poorer countries risk being priced out of the market entirely, raising the spectre of widespread hunger. In the UK, industry groups are already warning of rising consumer costs, with food inflation projected to climb significantly by the end of the year. Experts say this could mark the beginning of a broader crisis, where fertiliser shortages cascade into global food affordability challenges.
