This holiday season, @SecBlinken could affirm his support for the Diversity Visa program by withdrawing his appeals of the Gomez, Rai, and Goodluck orders. That single act would pave the way for nearly 20k DV2020 & DV2021 winners, their spouses, & children to be issued visas.
@KamalaHarris We are DV winners #dv2021#DV2020 who have not been invited for an interview and were canceled due to #Covid_19 ,and our dreams and future plans were ruined.Please invite us for an interview and help diversity visa winners get all their visas.

All of the great progress we’ve made as a nation has been because we know what we stand for: freedom and liberty.
That’s what’s at stake in this midterm election.
When you know what you stand for, you know what to fight for. Make your voice heard: https://t.co/VbrfuqDWLf
Cap exemptions were never struck down by the Parliamentarian and would provide relief for millions of people stuck in immigration backlogs.
Democrats shouldn't pass this opportunity up.
Since 2002 we've fought for Iranian Americans, in 2011 we secured multiple-entry visas for Iranian students seeking to study in the U.S.
Now we're fighting for those who won the diversity visa lottery, but whose visas weren't issued due to the Muslim Ban.https://t.co/rdsVzazHnt
We call on Senate Democrats to add #greencard recapture/cap exemption amendments to the Inflation Reduction Act negotiations...or risk leaving on the table the largest update to U.S. immigration policy since 1990. https://t.co/73NHlw9OcD
It’s pretty straightforward: @SenateDems can use their power within Senate rules to deliver citizenship for millions of immigrants in the #BuildBackBetter Act.
How? Read on🧵⬇️
One interesting feature of the diversity lottery green card "recapture" in the BBB is that it's not recapturing the unused green card numbers. It's extending the period to apply for green card lottery selectees, and selectees far exceed the cap. https://t.co/T6WWmWnte8
🚨 Rules Committee to meet at 5:30 tonight to approve a rule with necessary changes to the reconciliation package found in the Senate parliamentarian’s “privilege scrub" ahead of a House vote.
“It's pretty cut and dry: does anyone in this chamber find this behavior acceptable? Would you allow that in your home? And if it's not accepted there, why is it accepted here?”
Watch Rep. AOC’s full speech on Rep. Gosar’s censure below.
TAKE ACTION - 2 minutes of your time can make a difference! The House is expected to vote on the reconciliation bill this week, and we need you to tell your Members of Congress to deliver for immigrant workers and families in the reconciliation package: https://t.co/HGvyo2D5rY
Spoke with members of the IL Legislative Latino Caucus today about our efforts to include immigration reform in the Build Back Better bill. It’s been more than 30 years since Congress passed immigration reform—we can’t wait any longer. Now is the time & reconciliation is the way.
"Considering that almost 5.4 million more Americans are unemployed than before the pandemic, it’s absurd to argue that amnesty serves the national interest. @SenSchumer might not recognize that. But hopefully, @SenatorSinema and @SenMarkKelly do."
