Oppose HR6225's Blanket Immigration Ban

I am writing to urge you to oppose HR6225, introduced on November 20, 2025, which would impose a comprehensive halt on all visa issuance and immigration status grants across the United States. This legislation represents an unprecedented and dangerous approach to immigration policy that would harm our economy, violate constitutional principles, and damage America's standing in the world. HR6225 contains no clear criteria for when or how its sweeping restrictions could be lifted, effectively creating an indefinite ban on all legal immigration. This includes tourists, international students, skilled workers, family members of U.S. citizens, refugees, and asylum seekers. The bill provides no exceptions, no implementation details, and no consideration for the millions of pending applications already in the system. The economic consequences would be devastating. Universities rely on international students who contribute billions to local economies. Technology companies, agricultural businesses, and countless other industries depend on legal immigration to fill critical workforce needs. Tourism, a major economic driver in many communities, would collapse overnight. The administrative burden alone would create massive backlogs that could take years to resolve, even after any eventual lifting of restrictions. Beyond economics, this bill raises serious constitutional concerns. The lack of due process protections, vague conditions for lifting restrictions, and absence of judicial review provisions all invite legal challenges. The blanket approach conflicts with existing immigration statutes and international treaties to which the United States is a party. I understand immigration policy requires thoughtful reform, but HR6225 is not a solution. It is an overly blunt instrument that fails to target specific problems while creating enormous collateral damage. I urge you to oppose this legislation and instead support measured, constitutional approaches to immigration that protect both national interests and fundamental rights.
