This is the reason why you hear a lot of cries to overrule/dismiss her and include immigration provisions.
As you see, things continue to be chaotic on the hill. We will continue to push for sections #60002-#60004
#OneTeamOneDream

[Immigration Forum @theImmiForum]

Everyone is waiting with bated breath to know where things are on the immigration provisions in the Senate #BudgetReconciliation. Two more steps for sec #60002-#60004 to become law:
1)Calculation of CBO score
2)Senate Parliamentarian's approval
@SenatorDurbin @SenSchumer

[Immigration Forum @theImmiForum]

We urge @SenateDems to achieve consensus, include all the immigration provisions from the House bill in the Senate version as well

If Parliamentarian doesn't approve, @SenateDems can overrule. Her decision is NOT binding.
#OneTeamOneDream @SenatorDurbin @SenSchumer

[Immigration Forum @theImmiForum]

Tomorrow is critical for the #BuildBackBetter bill that also includes the immigration provisions. Please continue to call/email, get your voice heard

Ask your lawmaker's support "This bill contains provision that'll eliminate the EB backlog, help 1M stuck in a FOREVER backlog"

[Immigration Forum @theImmiForum]

When easier options are available, like 1.Creating ruckus 2.Talking rubbish about other organizations and people, guess they tell themselves 👇

"Why should I do the HARDWORK? They're giving me $$$ anyway!"

$$$ #Accountability #KeepingEmHonest $$$

[Immigration Forum @theImmiForum]

Embarrassing when staffers tell us,
"This is fresh! How come no organization shared this information about EB backlog with us before?"

==> Again, NOT ONE ORGANIZATION! <==

$$$ #Accountability #KeepingEmHonest $$$

[Immigration Forum @theImmiForum]

Why is that critical members of the Appropriations Committee were NEVER shared the right message about EB category backlog?

==> Put those MEGA $$$ you raised to work! <==

$$$ #Accountability #KeepingEmHonest $$$

[Immigration Forum @theImmiForum]

We wish the parliamentarian a speedy recovery

We urge @SenateDems, @SenateGoP to change the registry date to 12/31/2020 and eliminate ALL the backlog in the employment based category.

This is the Year! Now is the Time! #ImmigrationReform

It is our humble request to every organization and individual who is interested in the removal of the backlog Employment Based immigration to FOCUS on the TASK!

Everything else is a distraction, a waste of time.

One Team One Dream.

[Immigration Forum @theImmiForum]

We requested @RepZoeLofgren @SenatorDurbin to include provisions for GC for everyone w/ a valid I-140 as of 12/31/2020
We are particularly thankful they considered our suggestion. They are truly champions and acknowledged that "Clearing the backlog must NOT wait" Now is the time!

[Immigration Forum @theImmiForum]

@theImmiForum requests everyone to please call their representatives and senators to help push this bill to finish line because, This is the Year and NOW is the time!

This is critical. Even if you haven't participated in advocacy earlier, please call.

[Immigration Forum @theImmiForum]

Thank you @SenatorDurbin for pushing to clear green card backlogs. It's critical to a million in the EB backlog. Request you to ensure related provisions are included in the bill and are passed.

This is the Year, Now is the Time!

Request vested interests to NOT muddy the waters

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

Since 1986, Congress has repeatedly failed to fix our broken immigration system. @HouseJudiciary did their part by advancing a bill to provide a path to legal status for Dreamers, TPS recipients, and essential workers, and clear green card backlogs. The Senate must follow suit.

[Immigration Forum @theImmiForum]
