Our statement on @WhiteHouse's immigration executive actions announced today and the bipartisan letter from members of Congress calling on @DHSgov and @USCIS to protect children of long-term visa holders and families affected by the green card backlog.

[Mrityunjay Kant @mrityunjay987]

@RepRaskin You are a beacon of hope, honesty and transparency. Praying for your quick recovery and return to the Congress!

[Mrityunjay Kant @mrityunjay987]

HR3648 levels the playing field for the entire skilled workforce. Please pass HR3648. The bill will STOP deporting age out kids and STOP separating families!
@LeaderHoyer @RepZoeLofgren, All politicians talk tall. Very few are up for the moment. This is your moment.
#YesHR3648

[Mrityunjay Kant @mrityunjay987]

America should support skilled immigrants! We were invited to the US based on our skills, not our national origin. HR3648 will curb H1B-abuse with a 50-50 rule.
@LeaderHoyer @RepZoeLofgren Push this to the finish line. Do not deny us equality.
#YesHR3648

[Mrityunjay Kant @mrityunjay987]

Thanks to HR3648, Department of Labor will be empowered to conduct investigations and hearings on any employer. Congress should grant equality for skilled immigrants. Congress, Hear our voice!
Stop disappointing us and lead us to equality @LeaderHoyer @RepZoeLofgren.

"[P]olicy concerns cannot trump the best interpretation of the statutory text." Patel v. Garland, 142 S. Ct. 1614, 1627 (2022). This undermines @TheJusticeDept's entire argument in favor of @USCIS and @StateDept's Retrogression Policies. #retrogression #effectchange

[Congresswoman Deborah Ross @RepDeborahRoss]

Today I led 22 of my House colleagues in urging DHS and USCIS to fix the backlog of work authorizations for immigrant spouses. This backlog has forced tens of thousands of immigrant women, many in STEM fields, to quit their jobs and deprived their families of financial security.

[priti singh @priti0902]

4 hrs ago a friend of mine who was in gc backlog died due to heart attack.His family lost him, will loose thier house,will leave only country his kids ever have known. called durbins office ,if Durbin can do anything about his family... operator said I will put down your support

[CNN @CNN]

On the day they turn 21, thousands of young immigrants will no longer be protected by the work visas that allowed their parents to come to the United States. After living in the US almost all their lives, they could be deported. https://t.co/0xU7GXTpiT

[Immigration Voice @immivoice]

The House will pass the bill next week & it’ll contain our provisions. The only person standing between your equality & you is @SenatorDurbin Call him & get his commitment to fight for these provisions to remain in the bill. https://t.co/PQllcjFtvm

[Senator Bob Menendez @SenatorMenendez]

🧵 Thread: This story is a perfect example of how broken our immigration system is. We can't say we want immigrants here to pursue the American Dream only to turn around and throw up obstacles at every possible turn.

Employment-based green card backlogs need to be fixed. There is so much talent ready to contribute, grow our economy, and create more jobs that is simply waiting in the wings.

A community of Indian immigrants is living in something akin to immigration purgatory due to a visa backlog. This group of over a million is not undocumented, but were on visas that are family- or employment-based. (Analysis by @PabloReports)

DHS is seeking public comments for #DACA. To support Documented Dreamers, please submit a comment using the template at https://t.co/pxuYSnSOKH.

Over 200k children of long-term visa holders face self-deportation with no protection.

[Caroline Coudriet @cscoudriet]

My latest in @rollcall: The House reconciliation plan would recapture unused green cards that could bring relief to millions of legal immigrants, but the Senate hasn't considered that section.

Frustrated advocates say Dems are missing an opportunity. https://t.co/NIn6znHYCJ

[Eric Michael Garcia @EricMGarcia]

Something I didn't know before @PabloReports's piece: child dependents of long-term visa holders lose their legal status as soon as they turn 21. Indian immigrants feel they are being left out of immigration reform discussions. https://t.co/W2r5fzlBGG

[Kristie De Peña @kdpindc]

Democrats still have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reunite millions of families and modernize the immigration system with green card recapture and cap exemptions.
