Happy New Year! Some MATH for 2025:

1. 2025 itself is a PERFECT square: 45² = 2025
2. It is a product of two squares, namely: 9² × 5² = 2025
3. It is the sum of THREE squares, namely: 40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
4. The last perfect square? 1936
44² = Year 1936
5. It is the sum of the cubes of all the digits from 1 to 9:
1³ + 2³ + 3³ + 4³ + 5³ + 6³ + 7³ + 8³ + 9³ = 2025
6. It is also the squared sum of all the numbers from 1 to 9: (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9)²=2025
The year 2025 is MATHEMATICALLY remarkable.
Let's hope it is also remarkable on the human level!
Health, happiness, prosperity and peace for all! 😀🎉

Point of clarification: Sriram didn’t say he wants to remove all caps on green cards. He said he wants to remove *country* caps on green cards. Right now, every country in the world gets allocated the same number of green cards, no matter how many qualified applicants it has. So applicants from India have an 11 year wait whereas applicants from many other countries have no wait at all. Sriram still supports skills-based criteria for receiving a green card, not making the program unlimited. In fact, he wants to make the program entirely merit-based. Supporting a limited number of highly skilled immigrants is still a prevalent view on the right. Sriram is definitely not a “career leftist”!

@ajainb @neeratanden Thanks @ajainb for your continuous effort. We have seen your advocacy and effort to put our point in Biden administration.

Hopefully, the Trump administration will take the baton and help us with our cause. It’s a bipartisan cause and we expect support from all parties!

As a reminder, I am very much in favor of expedited legal immigration for anyone who is talented, hardworking and honest.

Illegal immigration needs to stop, but I’m super in favor of greatly expanding and simplifying legal immigration.

Anyone who proves themself to be hard-working, talented and honest should be allowed to become an American. Period.
