Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds employer attestation and recruitment requirements plus penalties to protect U.S. workers from certain immigrant hiring (employment-e-verify subtag), eliminates the diversity lottery and narrows family immigration categories while preserving only nuclear-family visas, and requires new ideological/value-based attestations barring support for listed practices. All provisions expand the scope or strictness of immigration enforcement and selection rules. No provisions address firearms, transgender issues, or abortion.
