This might be an interesting question.
Who should be given a green card? Or who is more American? 🇺🇸
A person who came to America via H1B visa 15 years ago and paid taxes since entering America.
OR
A person who crossed the border 10 years ago and paid no taxes in the last 10 years.
I would be ok if both are given equal treatment in front of the law.
Considering the human spirit in my heart.
But know when you incentivize the one who neither followed the immigration law, nor paid the taxes
over
someone who followed the immigration law and paid the taxes,
you are digging own grave in a long run.
You are creating a new precedence that one should neither follow the law, nor pay the taxes.
@VivekGRamaswamy what's your take on this bill #EAGLEAct introduced by @SenKevinCramer to eliminate per-country caps in employment immigration & rather award greencards based on skills vs place of birth?
. @SenKevinCramer to reintroduce EAGLE Act to phase out 7% per-country cap on employment-based green cards and Healthcare Workforce Resilience Act to recapture unused green cards for nurses and physicians https://t.co/q0r2O95k07
"If you have the right combination of skills, education, and/or work experience, you may be able to live and work permanently in the United States by seeking an employment-based immigrant visa"
Fact Check: FALSE
Corrected version 👇
If you **were born in any country other than India, then even if you do not** have the right combination of skills, education, and/or work experience, you may be able to live and work permanently in the United States by seeking an employment-based immigrant visa.
DHS and DOS should consider making the priority dates in the visa bulletin current at the beginning of each fiscal year. This allows all green cards to be used, allows people to switch employers, and protects people from aging out.
Dozens of bipartisan members of Congress wrote to @SecMayorkas to ask for “dates for filing” chart to be made current at the beginning of the fiscal year.
This would allow all in the backlog with approved petitions to receive EADs and also protect children from aging out.
We applaud @CongressmanRaja & @RepLarryBucshon for leading bipartisan letter w/ 56 Reps. to @SecMayorkas & @SecBlinken asking for minor fix to Oct Visa Bulletin to help 600K hi-skilled immigrant families. Now up to Biden Admin to respect & treat us fairly! https://t.co/hQtLwwGnh7
"For as long as I can remember, I've had regular nightmares about being sent back to where I would wander the foreign streets and have to adjust to an unfamiliar system. My greatest fear is being forced to return to a place I have never really known." - Bhumika Prem for @TEDTalks
@ShriThanedar Please make visa bulletin (date of filing) current every year in October. Just EAD isn't useful. Making VB current will allow us to apply i485, EAD, AP and will stop kids from aging out.
Good Morning @POTUS & @USCISDirector Happy Monday, being in US from past 15 years still waiting for Green Card , can you please help us to resolve this #GreenCardBacklog#RemoveCountryCap from more than decade of waiting for it . Thank You 🙏
@RepShriThanedar Thanks for cosponsoring.
Respectfully, the bill you have cosponsored does *not* increase employment greencards.
It merely re-allocates previously allocated (but wasted due to administrative inefficiencies) greencards to people in #GCbacklog for 10-15+ years.
Proud to co-sponsor the H.R. 1535 Eliminating Backlogs Act of 2023, bipartisan legislation which increases employment-based immigration visas. Immigration needs to be merit-based, not dictated by arbitrary caps. #ImmigrationReform
