Why the model tagged it this way: The bill solely amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to raise the per-state limit on Conrad 30 waivers for international medical graduates, which facilitates more foreign physicians obtaining waivers to work in the United States; this is classified under immigration-enforcement/other as it pertains to immigration policy without addressing enforcement, sanctuary policies, or other specified subtags.
