RAISE Act or Reduce Act?

摘要

None of us is immune to the impact of federal policy changes, either personally or professionally, consciously or subconsciously. August 2, 2017, began like any other day until I learned about the proposed RAISE Act,~(1) a bill that, if passed, would change the US immigration process from its current state to a merit-based system. In the new proposal, points are awarded for age, education, extraordinary achievement, English language proficiency, entrepreneurial initiatives, and having a high-paying job offer. A maximum of 90 points can be awarded, linking points and merit to legal immigration to the United States.
