The green card backlog is so deep that a person born in India applying now would have to wait 195 years to get their green card.
195. Years. https://t.co/YDP3Rquwwh
House is considering The No Ban Act, which bars the President from limiting immigration based on religion, could also get a vote. If limiting immigration based on religion is immoral, how is limiting high skilled immigration based on birth country any different?
@SenKevinCramer@SASCGOP Thanks for your support! It’s a endless wait for documented high skilled immigrants. Country cap should be removed immediately. It’s a very straight bill. People are stuck fear of renewal DELAYS, visa cancelations, aging out kids, spouse’s insecurity! #h1b#H4#H4EAD
@SenKevinCramer@SASCGOP Thank you Senator Kevin Cramer.This is my 14th year in the US as a high-skilled immigrant and future American.I develop cloud applications that are used by USCIS and DHS, yet every time I stand at a consulate window for an H-1B stamp,I’m made to feel like an ‘alien’ to the US.
@SenKevinCramer@SASCGOP Thank you, Senator! It is, in fact immoral, and does not reflect who we are as a country. We welcome your unconditional support to end the national origin discrimination in employment-based green cards.
We’ve blown the opportunity to maximize high-skilled immigrants who have come to this country.
The backlog of green cards is immoral, and per-country caps punish countries that have a lot more to offer us.
Congress needs to get something done on this issue. @SASCGOP
Wonder how @VP@KamalaHarris's life would have been if she had come one generation later. She may have been on an H-4 visa, renewing it for the 4th time and waiting for her #H4EAD for 15 months. Her kid who she brought to US at 2, may age out soon and will have to self-deport!

@allenorresq@JoeBiden I've waited for more than decade for my Meritbased Green card(GC).
Merit based GC have 195 yr waiting period.
In a most developed country, countrycap for Meritbased GC is a shame!

At @MultCo, our employees who are here on H-1B visas make us, and our community, stronger. The Board urges the Biden administration to reverse the Trump administration's harmful immigration policies and work to advance a more equitable immigration system. https://t.co/StILG6juSe
Our kids are suffering! Help us by passing HR1044 in 2020! This bill doesn't increase immigration numbers by even 1 (one)!
Our kids have faith in @RepZoeLofgren. Don't let their future go in the drain.
#KeepYourPromise#HR1044MustPass
Shame on @SenRickScott for killing the equality bill #HR1044#s386 for no reason. This shows he supports discrimination in employment based green card allocation. #HR1044Good4USA
