The RAISE (Reforming American Immigration for Strong Employment) Act is a bill first introduced in the United States Senate in 2017. Co-sponsored by Republican senators Tom Cotton and David Perdue, the bill seeks to reduce levels of legal immigration to the United States by 50% by halving the number of green cards issued. The bill would also dramatically reduce family-based immigration pathways; impose a cap of 50,000 refugee admissions a year; end the visa diversity lottery; and eliminate the current demand-driven model of employment-based immigration and replace it with a points system. The bill received the support of President Donald Trump, who promoted a revised version of the bill in August 2017, and was opposed by Democrats, immigrant rights groups, and some Republicans.

| - 美国移民改革促进就业法案(英語:Reforming American Immigration for Strong Employment Act,简称RAISE Act)是美国参议院于2017年提出的一项法案。 RAISE法案由共和党阿肯色州联邦参议员汤姆·卡顿与佐治亚州联邦参议员大卫·珀杜于2017年2月13日共同提出。该法案旨在通过控制绿卡发放以使合法移民数量减少一半,由此提高美国的就业环境。法案提议将每年发放的难民绿卡数量控制在5万,取消多元化移民签证,并限制亲属移民的数量。此外,法案引入了积分制,通过英文水平、教育程度、工作技能等择优选择移民。 2017年8月2日,卡顿又向参议院提交了修改后的RAISE法案。同时,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普对法案表示支持。当日,特朗普在卡顿与珀杜的陪同下在白宫宣布了该法案。 (zh)

The bill received the support of President Donald Trump, who promoted a revised version of the bill in August 2017, and was opposed by Democrats, immigrant rights groups, and some Republicans. The 2017 bill (in the 115th Congress) did not receive a vote in the Senate, although a similar immigration bill supported by Trump was defeated in 2018 on a 39–60 vote. In 2019 (during the 116th Congress), Cotton, Perdue, and other Republicans re-introduced the legislation; the bill did not advance. (en)
