@AyannaPressley America’s Promise=EQUALITY for ALL! HR3648 limits the number of temporary guest workers (H1B) a company can hire. There are no valid reasons to keep the country cap on green cards. Not. Even. One.

@RepMaxineWaters HR3648 protects American jobs through B1/B2 amendments. Delay in passing HR3648 = Delay in protecting American workers. Thanks for recognizing that segregating skilled immigrants based on country of birth is UnAmerican.
#PassHR3648#YesEagleAct
@StaceyPlaskett@SpeakerPelosi Please pass HR3648. HR3648 is the only enforcement bill to see the light of day in many years. Thanks for understanding that skill has no nationality! We should be given equal priority.
#PassHR3648#YesEagleAct
@StaceyPlaskett Our children deserve equality. Perfect cannot be the enemy of good progress. HR3648 Amendments help employers retain jobs here in the US.
#PassHR3648#YesEagleAct
@RepWilson HR3648 triples the penalties and fines for any violation of immigrant visa (H1B) rules. We have contributed to the economy for more than a decade. The bill will STOP deporting age out kids and STOP separating families!
#PassHR3648#YesEagleAct
@RepWilson @LGBTEqCaucus Ending country discrimination makes the immigration system merit-based. HR3648 will curb H1B-abuse with a 50-50 rule. Nothing trumps justice.

@LeaderHoyer @RepEBJ@HouseScience It is time to keep the promise and end the plight of immigrants in the green card backlog. We are forced to wait 150 years based on birth country. HR3648 empowers DOL to conduct investigations and hearings on any employer.
#VoteHR3648Tonight#YesHR3648
@LeaderHoyer @gracenapolitano@TransportDems Let us achieve dignity, respect, and justice for all! HR3648 will treat all skilled immigrants equally. HR3648 protects American jobs through B1/B2 amendments.

@LeaderHoyer @CEXAlsobrooks No one is free when others are oppressed. National origin discrimination has no place in the 21st century. HR3648 is a win-win for both American workers and immigrants.
#VoteHR3648Tonight#YesHR3648
@LeaderHoyer @AACoExec This bill doesn't increase immigration numbers by even one! I can work hard but cannot change my birth country! America should judge me for my skills. Nothing trumps justice.
#VoteHR3648Tonight#YesHR3648
@LeaderHoyer HR3648 empowers DOL to conduct investigations and hearings on any employer. With your leadership, It's time to end discriminatory country caps. America should support skilled immigrants!
#VoteHR3648Tonight#YesHR3648
@LeaderHoyer Thanks to HR3648, Department of Labor will be empowered to conduct investigations and hearings on any employer. We were invited to the US based on our skills, not our national origin. HR3648 promotes merit based immigration!

@carolinesimon66 @rollcall When house passes a reconciliation bill with provisions 60002/3&4 why is it difficult for senate to do follow suit? If this is happening due to actions of ONE Senator who's holding off on removing discrimination for EB Greencards, what do we call him?
#DurbinBlocksLegalImmigrants
@SenatorDurbin Decades of wait! You claim to support clearing green card backlog. If you don't have anything against families of high-skilled immigrants, simply make a public statement to support sections 60002/3/4 of House bill & send it to the Parliamentarian.
@SenAlexPadilla
@SimonTomasSays@SenatorDurbin Don't be surprised if Durbin keeps mum on the Senate text at least until Tuesday when they're back on Capitol Hill for a cloture vote at 11:30am. I'll be there looking to ask Durbin about the Senate text - specifically, the visa backlog, incl high-skilled & spouses. Sound good?
