They can allow something like 270,000 "chain immigrants" in per year. I believe they prioritize by closeness of relation so new minor children and spouses can push back siblings, parents, etc.
Parents are added at roughly 175,000 per year. Eliminating them (and you have to if you want to limit chain migration at all) would presumably allow them to slowly move through the list -- probably 15-20 years (which is what it will be -- or longer -- under current law).
