Enact the ASSIMILATION Act to end mass migration by tightening immigration rules, mandating E-Verify, ending chain migration, eliminating the Diversity Visa Lottery, ending birthright citizenship, strengthening public charge rules, imposing tougher asylum standards, and creating a 10-year citizenship requirement.
Occurrences
Rep. Andy Ogles is leading a new bill that would shift the American immigration system from a family-based focus, largely ending chain migration and prioritizing immigrants who serve the national interest of the U.S. It would also eliminate the diversity visa lottery.
Evidence
Congressman Andy Ogles introduced the ASSIMILATION Act, an 83-page immigration reform bill. The release says the legislation mandates E-Verify, ends chain migration, eliminates the Diversity Visa Lottery, ends birthright citizenship, strengthens public charge rules, imposes tougher asylum standards, and creates a 10-year citizenship requirement.
GovInfo's Congressional Record Index entry for the ASSIMILATION Act lists the congressional bills reference as S. 4546 and dates the index entry May 18, 2026.
Sen. Tuberville said he had introduced the ASSIMILATION Act and described it as legislation to replace chain migration and lottery-based admissions with a national-interest, merit-based system; the release says it would narrow family-based immigration, eliminate the diversity visa lottery, reform employment-based immigration, tighten H-1B and F-1 work authorizations, require E-Verify, raise naturalization standards, add penalties for visa overstays, and tighten asylum screenings.
Assessments
Ogles introduced the ASSIMILATION Act in the House, with a companion Senate introduction by Tuberville, and the cited records show the bill's immigration provisions match the promised policy package. However, the promise was to enact the Act, and the evidence only establishes introduction/indexing, not passage by Congress or signature into law. Because Ogles made a serious federal legislative attempt during his current House term but the promised enactment has not occurred, this is a failed delivery with effort credit.
