Overview
- Roy announced on The Benny Show that he intends to file legislation halting all immigration, with the bill not yet formally introduced or published.
- The objectives he listed include ending H‑1B visas, reforming chain migration, addressing birthright citizenship rules, expanding ideological vetting, and scrutinizing adherence to Sharia law.
- He argued the move responds to what he called a rising Islamism threat and a lack of assimilation in certain communities.
- The announcement follows a September presidential proclamation raising the fee for new H‑1B petitions to $100,000, which the State Department said applies only to petitions filed after September 21.
- Reports note that Indians account for nearly 70% of H‑1B holders, highlighting potential overseas and workforce impacts should broader changes advance through Congress.
