@HoustonISD The weather is pretty bad in the Katy Area!

Employment-based immigration advocates are frustrated w/ a Senate spending bill that doesn't deliver on hopes of restoring expired worker green cards, @ellengilmer and I report.

The bill helps family-based green card seekers instead but may still evolve. https://t.co/p2jW53XGD9

[Green Card Backlog Coalition @GCBCoalition]

Everyone connect for one cause to clear Employment Based GreenCard backlog by removing country caps. We make sure we are heard and added to budget reconciliation bill (include #60002/3/4). Be prepared for 12:00 pm EST.

@ejtaub @USCIS Submitted medicals with the I-485 in October 2020… no luck yet

[Vamsi @vamsiae]

@USCIS #USCIS successfully wasting 100K Green cards when Skilled immigrants waiting in decades of backlog. Each application is a family waiting in uncertainty.

[MVR @mrsmart77]

@USCIS Please find a way to utilize all additional 140K employment based green cards year 2021. Every visa number you waste is a life punished to wait for 20 or 30 years for it. This is very inhuman @AliMayorkas @POTUS please do some thing to stop wastage of Employment based GCs FY2021.

[Barathi(Mohan) G @BarathimohanG]

@USCIS
@SecMayorkas
Please revert back the previous admin restrictive interpretation of CSPA policy. Please update the USCIS policy manual to allow I-140 priority Date to protect Aging out Kids.

[Improve The Dream @ImproveTheDream]

Thank you @RepDeborahRoss for highlighting Documented Dreamers who are aging out of the system.

Let's pass the Dream and Promise Act this week to ensure all children who grew up here receive a clear path to citizenship!

In the Y2K era, Congress quickly increased H-1B quota to 195k without increasing a single GC. Knowing there will be backlogs, they passed AC21 and CSPA (which barely works). They kept the country caps intact (yeah Diversity!) and here we are - a 150 year backlog. #Immigration

[Anirban Das @anirb_das]

@csmikolajuk This is why I have @David_J_Bier's video pinned to my profile. What he says is spot on! No other country treats high skilled immigrants as badly as US. You are welcome as family members and given GCs just to "promote diversity". But Indian doctors wait 150 years for a GC!

[Maddy Koodige @madnwitty]

@ackocher @axios Wish same expedition was shown to documented immigrants, too. Congress could easily consider #S386 which passed senate along with #HR1044 within April. Can bills that passed last congress have modifications when reintroduced? If yes, wonder what .@RepZoeLofgren is thinking.

[Arpita Sarkar @asarkar22]

@Karthik___Raj Lol good one

[Christine Mikolajuk @csmikolajuk]

Thank you @SenKevinCramer for bringing up the sad state of the LEGAL immigration system: if you’re not married or related to an America, it’s nearly impossible to become an American - merit-based immigration has become nearly impossible! @SenTomCotton https://t.co/VJPLeca6JV

[Senator Kevin Cramer @SenKevinCramer]

We’ve blown the opportunity to maximize high-skilled immigrants who have come to this country.

The backlog of green cards is immoral, and per-country caps punish countries that have a lot more to offer us.

Congress needs to get something done on this issue. @SASCGOP

[Rahul D @rahuldsinha]

@POTUS @VP @AliMayorkas there is a huge backlog for employment based green cards. This can be addressed quickly by EO to reclaim unused visa for the past 20 years. #legalimmigration

[#EagleAct Supporter @HR3864Supporter]

@POTUS This is a very positive steps to revive economy

Currently USA is using only 5% of Merit based visa compare to millions visa issued every year. Skilled worker waiting for decades in #GCBacklog and their families facing Ageing out of kids, #H4EADDelays etc
Act on #USCitizenshipAct

[Indu Vohra @InduVohra]

There are many families like mine, stuck in the #Gcbacklog for over a decade, our kids have aged out and have either deported or now suffering delays in #opt extensions, spouses who have lost jobs because of #H4EadDelays. So we are suffering in every possible way.

[lifeofshoba @texanintech]

@NolanR1 @David_J_Bier I agree.. but why is no one talking about the documented legal H4 kids who have no future in this country. They have also been brought by their parents who are skilled workers contributing in STEM@fields. Why shd they self deport? They know no other country as home? #H4Kids
