    In Proclamation 10149, President Joseph R. Biden Jr. revoked Proclamation 10014, which had suspended the entry of certain immigrants and nonimmigrants into the United States, claiming it was detrimental to the country's interests. The revoked proclamation had been extended twice and was criticized for preventing families from uniting and hindering industries reliant on global talent. President Biden directed relevant departments to review and revise any guidance or policies in line with the new policy. This move aimed to rectify the negative impacts on families and individuals, such as those affected by the Diversity Visa Lottery program.

    Simple Explanation

    President Biden said no more to an old rule that made it hard for some people living far away to come to America, especially if they wanted to work or join their families. He asked his team to help fix it so families can be together and more people can get jobs from all around the world.
