Not only are we prohibiting people working in the United States from becoming US permanent residents solely because they were born in India.
We are now taxing them extra on top of their normal US taxes while they wait for a permit that will never come.
@raj_karnatak@ajainb Dear Ajay, Could you plz provide an update here. It would also helpful to know (or refer me plz) the overall process and where it is stuck for EO? this might be little things for policymakers but this can certainly uplift my indian family. Thank you! @atalovesyou @Area51cast
Even @elonmusk recognizes that people from India aren't treated fairly by American Immigration.
Over million Indians are stuck in racist country exclusion caps.
Many will die without any pathway to citizenship.
Close to 300K kids will age out and will have to self deport at 21
Bill #HR6542 removes per-country caps for employment based immigration. Hope @elonmusk & @garrytan can advocate and push for passage.
Previous iterations have passed house & senate with overwhelming bipartisan votes, but the bill gets mired in politics each time.
Green card backlog due to the #percountrycap is the really hurting many but benefiting some who want to keep it intact. It is the matter of who wins the tug of war. So fight it against all odds if you have time and resources OR find another way, are your only choices with the limited lifetime you have. So pick your battle.

It's great to see huge support for #HR6542.
I hope @RepMcCormick@CongressmanRaja@RepJayapal and others can push for it to be included in NDAA.
If you are calling/writing your reps, ask them to support this.
