Bill overview
The PAUSE Act of 2025 proposes a significant restriction on U.S. immigration, effectively pausing the issuance of visas and granting of immigration status until specific conditions are met. These conditions include prohibiting states and localities from denying public school access to non-citizens, limiting pathways to citizenship, and barring certain categories of individuals from receiving benefits or immigration status. The bill also introduces a substantial fee for H-1B visas and terminates the Optional Practical Training Program and the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program. It aims to significantly alter the landscape of immigration policy in the United States.
