Thank you @clairecmc team for meeting with highly-skilled #immigrants in MO last week abt the need for High-Skilled #ImmigrationReform.
#ISquared is a great package that not just protects US worker interests but also relieves our families from the career-ending wait of 70 years.
For no fault of ours, in spite of having approved #immigrant petitions, contributing highly-skilled #immigrants are put in a #70year#greencardbacklog .
Thanks @SenWhitehouse for listening to our stories. Please champion solutions like #ISquared , & bring it forward for debate.
Thank you @SenWarren for speaking with us & sharing your thoughts at the #Holden#Townhall
More than ever, we need leaders like you who can champion & bring relief & fairness to highly-skilled #immigrants who are stuck in a #70year#Greencard backlog.
