From Southern California Public Radio:
As the U.S. Senate hashes out the details over comprehensive immigration overhaul, one proposed change involves excluding some relatives of U.S. citizens from visas. The two categories on the table are visas for siblings and adult (over-21) married children of U.S. citizens. Current immigration law allows citizens to petition for both.    The idea of eliminating some family visa categories is being championed by Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, one of the eight senators working on a reform bill. It’s come up in past immigration reform talks, too, says UC Irvine political scientist Louis DeSipio. “What Congress is trying to do isn’t necessarily to pick on the brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens," says DeSipio, "but instead to sort of narrow the scope of family so that over time, the volume of immigration to the United States diminishes."
