Thank you, @realDonaldTrump! Looking forward to the changes. There are around 300k H1-B holders who have been in the United States for 10+ yrs with approved #immigrant petitions, & several contributions to economy & society. But, no pathway to citizenship. Only 150-years wait.
US High Skilled immigration is so broken that Indian citizens who started their applications between 2005-2010 are still waiting.
If anything, these individuals have invested their youth and their lives in America, creating jobs and new businesses.
@DavidSacks we canโt be more
Point of clarification: Sriram didnโt say he wants to remove all caps on green cards. He said he wants to remove *country* caps on green cards. Right now, every country in the world gets allocated the same number of green cards, no matter how many qualified applicants it has. So
This morning the amendments to be filed by our champion @senorrinhatch will be removal of per country cap in EB category, Adustment of Status for those with approved I-140 and few others. Looking forward to the text as it becomes available.
Such a shame that @SenRickScott would propose absolutely outlandish amendment to derail passage of #S386. Carve out based on language in EB is as insane as country caps to begin with.
We wholeheartedly commend @SenatorDurbin in reaching agreement with @SenMikeLee on #S386
SIIA and 20 other organizations have reached out to all 535 Congress offices requesting them to act upon ending country of birth discrimination. If you know an org who will support, please reach out with a copy of this letter & request to sign. Let's get it done! #HR1044#S386
Support for #HR1044 & #S386 has been unprecedented with now more than 30 organizations signing the letter requesting passage of this bill! It will be a shame if congress loses this opportunity in spite of such a huge bipartisan support! @RepZoeLofgren@SenRickScott@SenMikeLee
Thank you @WLNS to help raise our voice against unfair country caps. #S386 does not increase green cards, will enable first come first policy and will protect #H4kids from deportation. Remove your hold @SenatorDurbin from #S386#H4kidsMatter@SenMikeLee
