Here’s a fair deal for highly skilled immigrants stuck in limbo:
✅ Green card approved (I-140 approved) for 10+ years
✅ Paid Social Security & Medicare taxes
✅ Followed the law, no public benefits
They should get their green cards immediately.
They’re not jumping the border. They played by the rules. Why are they still waiting?
Wouldn’t this make more sense than debating birthright citizenship for their kids?
@TimesAlgebraIND Yunus hits another low. World is silent. Bangladeshi Hindus need urgent help from Indian Govt.
Yunus Govt arrests 2 close aides of Saint Chinmoy Krishna Das Prabhu.
Both Hindus arrested when they were delivering food to him in Jail.
In 2017, @SenThomTillis’ SUCCEED Act was originally announced as a Senate companion to @carloslcurbelo’s RAC Act, which was the first dreamer legislation to include some documented dreamers.
However, language helping us was removed prior to Senate introduction of SUCCEED.

It will never make sense to me how it ever was or still is even a debate to include/not include 250k children who otherwise meet all qualifications of any program or bill offering a pathway to citizenship, but for having maintained lawful status.

It shows how illogical policymaking can be when a commonsense improvement from the House bill was removed on a whim.
And how even though we’ve fought for awareness and support from Senators on America’s Children Act, whose support this bill will seek, it may happen again.

Eagle act helps make the system more fair. It isn’t perfect, and it does not actually end backlogs, but makes it more equitable, while improving process.
Those opposed due to lack of GC increase should have confidence in getting that done in the next decade (transition period).
The Eagle Act is on track to reach the House floor, rare traction for an immigration bill
Senate prospects: uncertain. Sen. Cramer, a sponsor: "It’s one of those things where you need to be prepared if a window opens to get it on something that can pass"

Our current understanding: Earliest it can be activated is 1 Oct 2025 if it passes on or before 30 Sep 2023.
This is already insane, but to take it to another level:
We kick out students who were raised and educated in the American school system after they complete their college education (most in advanced STEM).
