They aren't and can't "end chain migration". They only want to limit it to


spouses and children under 21. Which frees up spots currently going to siblings, parents of adult residents/citizens, and their "chains", and their "chains' chains", to go to other legal immigrants waiting back home to get their visas. You can't actually "end chain migration", nor is anyone actually proposing that.

As for the visa lottery, besides wondering why those spots are needed for someone in Checnya or Chad, any more than those wanting to come from Mexico, or the countries currently in the news at the border, those visas would be used to clear up the backlog on waiting lists, before anything is actually cut.

Finally, most proposals I've seen all said we would use those "cuts" in legal immigration first to clear up backlogs already in the immigration pipeline waiting their turn (including the current more extensive interpretation of "chain migration") before those cuts would actually take effect on the numbers of total legal immigrants allowed. It would be several years at least before any legal immigrant numbers are actually "cut".
