Plain Language Summary

# SAFE for America Act of 2025 - Plain Language Summary **What the bill would do:** This bill would eliminate the Diversity Visa Program, which currently issues up to 55,000 visas each year to people from countries that don't send many immigrants to the United States. If passed, these visas would no longer be available, and the 55,000 annual visa slots would be eliminated from the immigration system. **Who it affects:** The bill would primarily affect individuals from countries with historically low immigration rates to the U.S. who were hoping to immigrate through this program.

It could also indirectly affect employers, family members, and communities that benefit from the diversity visa pathway. **Current status:** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. It was sponsored by Representative Mike Collins, a Republican from Georgia.
