NEW: Democrats are in active discussions to secure immigration measures in any future prospective deal on BBB, despite procedural defeats on immigration and broader uncertainty in light of Manchin's refusal to support the House-passed bill

.@SenatorDurbin .@SenAlexPadilla .@SenateDems Here is a list of Indian immigrants who died recently in US, had an approved immigrant petition but no Green card. How many more should die from decades-long EB GC wait before immigration reform and relief ? https://t.co/evePFRhhto
This backlog has prevented tens of thousands of immigrant spouses across the county from working, causing needless financial pain. My colleagues and I are urging Secretary Mayorkas and Director Jaddou to reduce these burdensome processing delays.
@OakHillParkway Could we get more detailed project timelines 2021 and 2025 please? Example when frontage road construction will start and end ? when main hwy will break? Also if there are lane closures what are the alternate routes and their estimated times.thnx
Not one, not two, not three, but seventeen Nobel prize winning economists say that passing Build Back Better will ease inflationary pressures and lower costs for American families.
Let’s get this done.
@David_J_Bier Its important to get educated on priority dates and backlog (employer may not do this) and take wiser steps before it gets too late. Move to eb1 or canada??
Bring the Senate back @SenSchumer! WORK! Carve the filibuster like McConnell has done, and passing voting rights legislation. You don't need 12 days off, or to be away from DC for 24 of the next 27 days!
Not a single Republican plans to vote for a bill that delivers universal pre-k, affordable child care, a monthly Child Tax Credit, and paid family leave.
We will deliver for working families anyway.
Dear @RepEspaillat, I urge you to vote YES on the #BuildBackBetterAct. I support the parole provision providing protection for the 7.1 million undocumented, tools to recapture lost green card numbers, and funding to help @USCIS effectively adjudicate petitions and applications.
WATCH: #Greencard recapture and cap exemptions will have transformative effects for immigrants, explains @kdpindc.
These provisions will offer relief to 4 million people stuck in the family-based backlog and 1 million stuck in the employment-based backlog.
The investments & revenue provisions of the Build Back Better package would raise over $2 trillion in offsets over 10 years & reduce deficits over the long term. Congress has put together a package that is fiscally responsible & critical to the future prosperity of our economy.
I'm incredibly proud of the education IL's public universities offer. I had an impactful conversation with university presidents yesterday about using the #BuildBackBetter reconciliation package as an opportunity to provide these universities with an historic investment.
