Standard Summary
Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs
The SAFE for America Act of 2025 proposes eliminating the Diversity Visa Program by amending the Immigration and Nationality Act, specifically removing Section 203(c) which establishes the annual visa lottery for immigrants from underrepresented countries, with technical corrections across multiple sections and an effective date of October 1, 2025.
Key Points
- 1The legislation directly terminates the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program by striking subsection (c) of Section 203 in the Immigration and Nationality Act.
- 2It requires extensive technical amendments throughout immigration statutes to remove all references to diversity visas, including sections 101, 201, 204, and 214.
- 3The bill mandates that these changes take effect on October 1, 2025, eliminating the visa lottery system for fiscal year 2026 and subsequent years.
