The proposed Immigration Modernization Act would place the Bureau of Immigration under the Justice Department, create a new Board of Commissioners, upgrade staff salaries, require all foreigners to register within 60 days, and set up a trust fund for equipment, benefits and training. It also adds digital processing of visas and permits, defines new visa categories, limits quota immigrants to 200 per nationality per year, and gives the Commissioner power to issue or waive exclusion orders.
