Nobody’s license should be tied to their legal status. Last year my dad was renewing his H1B visa and he could NOT DRIVE FOR MONTHS. It was extremely difficult on our family and yet again another reminder of how difficult the immigration system is on everyone.
Improve The Dream joined Google, Amazon, Twitter, IBM, Uber, and a group of 17 companies and organizations to urge for the protection of children of long-term visa holders from aging out.
Administrative policy changes and the bipartisan America's Children Act can end aging out.
We will continue to fight for the rights of #DV2017 ~ #DV2021 winners.
This struggle will continue until all the lost visas are given to their holders.
WE WILL NEVER GIVE UP 👊
NEVER!

Under Trump’s Muslim ban and other discriminatory travel bans, entry through the Diversity Visa program was blocked for thousands of people awarded a path to legal permanent residency.
Now, those barred from entry have to apply again to win US visas — but Biden can change that.
Approved green card applicants face decades-long backlogs, while the government fails to issue thousands of available visas each year. The Jumpstart Act would recapture wasted green cards and allow some families to finally exit the backlogs. Learn more: https://t.co/KL6CKb5OTQ
.@SenatorDurbin still optimistic on bipartisan immigration talks: "I think we're making progress. It's slow, but it's a big undertaking, so I'm hopeful."
But he also said Rs still insisting on adding border security to immigration bills unrelated to undocumented population.
As expected, nothing major. Padilla says they talked about border security but not strictly border security. Durbin, with a smile, told me they talked about immigration …
