The #DV2022 should not suffer the misfortune of the #DV2021 and #DV2020

WE NEED MORE INTERVIEWS FOR #DV2022
NOW!

New January numbers from the State Department show that it was on pace to process just ~3,500 of the statutorily required 55,000 diversity green cards. If consulates don't get to them by the end of September, they disappear forever. State is *intentionally* deprioritizing them.

Senate hearing on legal immigration will start at 2pm. The senators will hear from three excellent witness and no terrible ones! Athulya Rajakumar (a documented dreamer), Steve Legomsky (law professor), and Lynden Melmed (Bush's USCIS chief counsel) https://t.co/Pny9otZKs0

.@SenatorDurbin, who also chairs the Judiciary Committee that handles immigration matters, said immigration was a "conversation" during last week's caucus retreat, "but it wasn't topic A."

"We know that we face dilemmas needing 60 votes to do virtually anything on immigration."

[FWD.us @FWDus]

Professor Stephen H. Legomsky: “It has been 32 years since Congress last meaningfully updated our system of legal immigration. Since then, massive backlogs have accumulated. Millions of immigrants who qualify for admission continue to wait for years.”

[Joseph Zeballos-Roig @josephzeballos]

*New and updated* BBB vibe check: Sen. Dick Durbin is as sour as I've ever heard him on Ds reviving parts of Biden's economic agenda, implicitly blaming Manchin + Sinema.

Wyden pushed back, saying Ds must keep their pledges on climate + healthcare

CONCLUSION —

PADILLA ran a solid hearing today.

Sadly it seems unlikely anything comes out of it.

[Diversity Visa Winners @DVWinners]

@SenAlexPadilla Senator Padilla, as you are aware, nearly 100, 000 people selected as winners of the Diversity Visa were either denied by the Muslim Ban or never had the opportunity to claim their "win" due to Covid 19 related delays and embassy closures. Does this not warrant public discussion?

#DV2020 and #DV2021 will be an example of struggle and patience for all diversity visa winners around the world 🌎

Our struggle will not end until they find the last reserve visa holder.. 🇺🇸

We will never leave the winners of #DV2020 and #DV2021 alone 👊

Dear Congresswoman @Grace4NY
Thank you for everything you do for the #DV2020 and #DV2021 winners. Thank you for showing again how valuable legal immigrants are to America 🇺🇸

Diversity is America's greatest strength! 🇺🇸

Instead of making resolutions, let's make real change in 2022!

We’ve been fighting for permanent protections for immigrants for years. It’s time for Congress to deliver. There is no equitable recovery without immigrants.

And while the Muslim ban may have been rescinded, the impact lingers. I continued to document the struggles faced by Muslim families, diversity visa winners and chaotic limbo refugees find themselves in. (More on this later this month!) https://t.co/vlOf31qCE1

Build Back Better is the path to relief for countless individuals, including diversity visa recipients unjustly barred from their once-in-a-life chance for a visa.

[NIAC @NIACouncil]

One Senator, .@Sen_JoeManchin, shouldn't be able to wantonly crush those dreams. .@SenateDems and .@POTUS must push forward and find a way to pass the bill.

[National Immigration Law Center @NILC]

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🧵⬇️
