US Congressman Wants to Stop All Immigration: Big New Plan Shocks America

A new immigration freeze bill proposed by US Congressman Chip Roy has sparked national debate and strong reactions across the country.

During an interview on The Benny Show, Chip Roy announced that he plans to introduce a law that would stop all immigration to the United States until several strict conditions are met. The announcement immediately became one of the most talked-about political issues of the week.


Roy Explains His Demands

On the show hosted by conservative commentator Benny Johnson, Roy outlined a series of reforms he wants before immigration can resume.

He stated:

“I’ve got a bill that I’m going to be introducing that is a freeze on all immigration. Freeze it until we achieve certain objectives — reforming chain migration, ending H-1B visas, getting birthright citizenship dealt with, and vetting people for their adherence to Sharia law.”

These proposed conditions represent major changes to the current US immigration system.


Concerns About Security and Culture

Roy expressed strong concerns about what he described as a “massive Islamism problem” in the United States.

He argued that certain communities are not attempting to assimilate into American culture or values.

According to Roy:

“We’re dealing with a massive Islamism problem. We’re dealing with a massive problem of the advancement of Sharia law. We’re dealing with a mass community that is growing up and has no desire to assimilate and come here, to become American and embrace Western civilisation, embrace our Constitution, and embrace our values.”

His comments have drawn both support and criticism, adding to the ongoing national conversation about immigration and cultural integration.


What the Bill Would Do

Chip Roy explained that his proposed law would halt all forms of immigration until the US implements wide-ranging reforms, including:

  • Overhauling current visa systems, including ending the H-1B programme
  • Making US citizenship rules stricter
  • Adding stronger ideological vetting to check people’s beliefs before they enter the country

If passed, this would be one of the most dramatic immigration policy shifts in US history.


Connection With Trump’s Policies

Chip Roy has long been aligned with the hard-line immigration stance of former President Donald Trump.

His statements came just days after the Trump administration introduced major changes to the H-1B visa system.

In September, Trump signed a proclamation raising the fee for new H-1B applications to USD 100,000, up from roughly USD 1,500.
Later, the State Department clarified that the new fee applies only to applicants entering the H-1B lottery after September 21.


Summary

Chip Roy’s proposal for a total immigration freeze has quickly become a hot topic across the US.
With calls for stricter visa rules, tougher citizenship policies, and ideological screening, the debate over immigration is intensifying — and the nation is watching closely.
