Moore said, "My bill draws a hard line - the days of putting illegals, random diversity lotteries, and foreign labor ahead of American workers are over..." The release says the legislation "eliminates the Diversity Visa Lottery and replaces the current employment-based system with a modern, points-based model that rewards skill, education, English proficiency, and high-value job offers."
