We call on Congress to clear family visa backlogs to begin fixing our broken immigration system. Recapture a half-million green cards that went unused during the COVID pandemic and reinstate diversity visas denied by Trump’s immigrant bans! #backofwhatline#congress#legislation
Since 2002 we've fought for Iranian Americans, in 2011 we secured multiple-entry visas for Iranian students seeking to study in the U.S.
Now we're fighting for those who won the diversity visa lottery, but whose visas weren't issued due to the Muslim Ban.https://t.co/rdsVzazHnt
Dems may just focus on defeating border amendments.
That would be a mistake...they have a unique chance to go on the offensive and help 5 mil ppl stuck in backlogs, reunite millions of families, and potentially add up to $4 trillion to GDP in 10 years.
We call on Senate Democrats to add #greencard recapture/cap exemption amendments to the Inflation Reduction Act negotiations...or risk leaving on the table the largest update to U.S. immigration policy since 1990 https://t.co/C1UAvaFOfi

The #Biden State Department explains why it wants to trash green cards authorized by Congress that it was supposed to issue and then illegally chose not to issue. https://t.co/aI9sJRpuox
@RepJudyChu, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your humanity and recognition of the pain of Diversity Visa Winners of prior years denied the opportunity of a visa interview and effort to try find a solution.

I’m happy to debate how we pay for my Build Back Better Act.
Because if congressional Republicans want to argue that continuing tax cuts for big corporations and the wealthiest is more important than lowering costs for Americans, that’s an argument I’m happy to have.
"Green card recapture is nothing more than an administrative fix...to restore the immigrant population in the U.S. to what Congress intended by reclaiming authorized green card slots, and generate billions of dollars in economic activity and revenue." https://t.co/F7YFxq78Wl
“I believe over the last two years, [the Diversity Immigrant Visa program] is not working as intended. It's not bringing in the full amount of people to really increase the diversity of the United States of America.”

It is really messed up that the local news keeps talking about how there is a labor shortage while thousands of winners of the Diversity visa were blocked and ignored by US attorneys from coming to US.( Goodluck/Goh case)
