The admin could issue a memo approving all these today, revoke if necessary, but approve them and save the numbers. It will not do it b/c it would rather break the law to restrict immigration than bend the law to expand it (or at least not cut it) https://t.co/ZZgejtWG1N

@cyrusmehta Cyrus, this is such a disappointing and short sighted position. Time for more advocacy.

[Anirban Das @anirb_das]

If you are or know someone who is impacted by the India #travelban because a) you are not exempt or b) you are exempt but still cannot enter US as you need a stamped visa and consulates are closed, then please contact @nehamaha. She has been in touch with Congress members.

@cyrusmehta This is an excellent illustration of the challenges that US immigration policy poses to so many immigrants, especially Indian immigrants.

[Cyrus Mehta @cyrusmehta]

This is outrageous. Australia cannot criminalize its own citizens of Indian origin. No country has banned its own citizens so far. https://t.co/fmZCVTqNsw

Check out our latest podcast episode where we interviewed a dreamer whose story was told on the Senate floor in 2011 when the DREAM Act was last considered for passage.

[Immigration Chats @Immi_chats]

Our most recent podcast examined the DACA program and prior executive actions that paved the way for this program. We also examined why programs created through executive action alone are tenuous.

The American Dream and Promise Act passed 228-197 today. This bill paves the way to citizenship for Dreamers.

President Biden eliminated the harmful “Buy American Hire American” order. BAHA assumed that immigrants take American jobs. Our second podcast confronts this flawed premise. We interview Giovani Peri, whom the Chamber of Commerce cited last year in lawsuits. # BAHA # immigrants

@cyrusmehta BAHA assumed that immigrants take American jobs. Our second podcast episode confronts this flawed premise and includes an interview with Giovani Peri, a UC Davis Economist whom the Chamber of Commerce cited in litigation challenging last year’s H visa suspension.

[Immigration Chats @Immi_chats]

Two positive developments for immigrants - the USCIS is no longer pursuing attempts to withdraw the H-4 EAD rule AND President Biden is expected to eliminate the immigrant visa and H/L/J visa bans. Good news!

[Immigration Chats @Immi_chats]

@cyrusmehta True, Cyrus. Getting even a portion of this bill would be a win though.

[Immigration Chats @Immi_chats]

@USVisaLawyer Looks like we may have to deal with this one a little longer in light of the clarification from Jen Psaki. But hopefully the administration will replace it soon enough!

Excited about inauguration day, but unsure what an “executive order” means? Our podcast “Immigration Chats” discusses presidential power over immigration and how the last president turbo-charged this authority. https://t.co/nbi0ylm9Hj #inauguration #presidentialpower #biden
