The Reconciliation Package must include relief for the 1.2 million high-skilled immigrants who have been unable to get a green card due to country-based discrimination. I'm sending a letter to @SpeakerPelosi & @SenSchumer asking for these provisions.

NEW! Trump is likely to suspend work visas, such as H-1Bs, for foreign professionals and work authorization for foreign graduates of U.S. universities. Already, many laid off immigrants who built lives here are being forced to leave. My latest: https://t.co/1GtwJXbFsB

Immigrants make this country stronger and our economy more dynamic. As a first step toward needed comprehensive reform, I urge the Senate to move quickly to pass the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act. The contributions of these workers are critical to America’s future.
People cannot apply for EB GCs, the companies do. Companies ONLY file GCs for those who they want on a permanent basis. They look at the person's education and skills. Birth country is a non-factor. Then why is it so important to the gov't where skilled immigrants come from?#S386
Our immigration system unfairly disadvantages high-skilled immigrants from large countries. H.R. 1044 is an important bill that will level the playing field for high-skilled legal immigrants.

There are too many people who are unable to apply for green cards because of where they are born, trapping them in the H-1B visa program.
To stop corporations from abusing the H-1B program and lowering American wages, we need to make sure that immigrants can get green cards.
.@RepZoeLofgren told me after the hearing that she isn’t planning any standalone #H1B legislation despite mentioning the visa multiple times. She will, however, consider @ChuckGrassley’s H-1B additions to #S386 should it go to conference with #HR1044. https://t.co/Q7wmgC71QZ
The latest most-viewed bills includes: 1. HR1044, Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2019. 2. S386, Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2019, and 3. HR40, Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act. https://t.co/WMJjxi4gZ1
Joined @SenMikeLee to write in support of the Fairness for High Skilled Immigrants Act, a bill to eliminate per-country caps on high-skilled immigrants.
Immigration is often a contentious issue, but we should not delay progress in areas where there is bipartisan agreement.
He came to the US 17 years ago and helped expose VW's diesel fraud. He returned to India as he was still on work visa when let go. If he was born in any other country, he would have received PR by now. How is this fair? #HR1044#S386#EndGCBacklog https://t.co/Q6hMrI0mvV

& Keep reaching out to community & lawmakers with this unseen side of immigration impacting the Indian community & the American economy!
B/c of a decade + green card backlog, 70% of #H1B holders waiting for green cards said they were considering emigrating to a different country.
The US will lose out on the world’s top talent unless the high-skilled immigration system is reformed. https://t.co/wRr7up6mKx #H1Bday
