Hospitals nationwide are facing staff shortages, especially among nurses, and new H-1B visa fees are making it harder to recruit abroad. @NatalieABrand reports.
Today’s the day I’ve been working toward for years: we introduced the new and improved Dignity Act of 2025.
It’s been nonstop between media, press conferences, calls etc. but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Thank you all for this opportunity!
Just introduced the Dignity Act of 2025. This new and improved version is the most significant immigration reform bill in a generation, with 20+ original bipartisan cosponsors. See more below:

There are still many skilled legal immigrant workers in the United States who are judged based on their country of birth rather than merit. Despite being more qualified, they are often unable to qualify for many jobs compared to other immigrants in the same category.
This kind of discrimination is not only unfair, but it also forces employers to make hiring decisions based on birthplace rather than skills, which hurts America’s competitiveness. National origin discrimination is explicitly prohibited under the Civil Rights Act, yet our immigration system continues to enforce country-based limits (country caps) when skilled workers apply for permanent residency from within the U.S.
@realDonaldTrump should take executive action to ensure that Adjustment of Status (AOS) applications—which are filed from within the United States—for employment-based immigrants who meet all qualifications and have an approved immigration petition are processed on a First-In, First-Out (FIFO) basis.
If challenged, let the case reach the Supreme Court. Either the Court will uphold fairness, or it will finally bring much-needed attention to an issue that has long been ignored.
@POTUS, it's time to ensure that merit truly determines opportunities in America.
