Abstract/Citation
Raises the annual immigration quota by 40 per cent, to some 700,000, with a large proportion of the extra visas being granted to skilled people without family ties in the United States, subject to education and work experience requirements. The Act repeals earlier provisions specifically restricting admission to the United States on grounds of political opinion, H.I.V. infection, etc. The anti-discrimination features of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 are strengthened, and the "temporary protected status" is instituted as a form of relief for aliens unable to return to their country due to war, natural disaster, etc.
