Bill 119 HR 2366, also known as the "Family Unity Act," aims to make changes to the Immigration and Nationality Act in order to promote family unity within immigrant communities in the United States. The bill includes provisions that would allow for the reunification of families who have been separated due to immigration policies, as well as measures to streamline the process for family members to sponsor each other for immigration.
One key aspect of the bill is the expansion of the definition of "immediate family members" to include a broader range of relatives, such as grandparents, grandchildren, and siblings. This would make it easier for extended family members to be reunited with their loved ones who are already living in the US.
Additionally, the bill seeks to address the backlog of visa applications by increasing the number of visas available for family-sponsored immigrants. This would help reduce wait times for families who are trying to bring their relatives to the US legally.
Overall, the Family Unity Act is aimed at promoting family reunification and ensuring that immigrant families are able to stay together and support each other. The bill has garnered bipartisan support and is seen as a positive step towards comprehensive immigration reform.
