Big rocks give big support! Boulders tumble into place as we work hard to rebuild an embankment in Rensselaer County. It's the first step in constructing a new road to restore access after this week's devastating flooding.
When no one else would lift a finger to help backlogged immigrants maintain their H4-EAD, Immigration Voice acted to fight the good fight. Today, the D.C. Circuit said we were right to do so and affirmed the legality of the #H4EAD program. Thank you - Sudarshana Sengupta and Anuj Dhamija for leading this effort to help an estimated half a million families stuck in the backlog. We are deeply grateful to our attorney Carl Goldfarb and the law firm Boies Schiller Flexner LLP for helping immigrant families to work and support their families while waiting for over 170 years of employment-based green card backlog. https://t.co/KB7W5y7RMr

Today is the big day!
CALL your member of Congress NOW and ask them to vote for your ability to live your life as a human being.
Ask them to vote YES on the EAGLE Act!
#EagleAct#HR3648
Thanks to all of your tireless work and advocacy, you have rescued the #EagleAct from the graveyard of for-profit-racism and shady immigration lawyers. Do not let up, call your congressman and tell them to vote yes! https://t.co/fSnkTNd3x7
Equality is a such a simple and obvious concept that it is the foundation of any fair system. The children need not age out of their parents immigration paperwork due to per-country limits which perpetuate discrimination based on country of birth.

Thank you to @SenatorHick for being the champion for bringing common sense, equality, fairness, and merit back into our immigration system. We are confident that with your leadership of the EAGLE Act, we will now pass this bill swiftly!
Incredibly grateful to @SenKevinCramer & @SenatorHick for continuing the bipartisan tradition of working to eliminate discriminatory country caps by introducing the EAGLE Act. Their leadership will give our bill the boost needed to end the discrimination. https://t.co/cC98rSEMWf

Asked @Sen_JoeManchin about the new RELIEF Act which includes provisions for clearing the green card backlog of legal immigrants.
"I'd keep those people here in a heartbeat," said Manchin. "They're productive, they can be very helpful, and we need them."
Asked @SenatorDurbin if the proposal by @SenThomTillis to recapture unused green cards could fit into the spending bill.
"Well, it could fit into an immigration bill," said Durbin. "As part of the spending bill, you know, if there's a will there's a way."
One day @SenatorDurbin will have to account for a 30 year Senate career with absolutely no legislative accomplishments that actually helped any immigrants... - our full statement on the RELIEF Act.
Work has been way too busy to tweet. Appalled this article discussing systemic racism in immigration totally ignores 1 million high-skilled Indian nationals banned from receiving green cards b/c of their country of birth. Tells you how bad this problem is!

If it were not for our intervention in the lawsuit, it would have been 5 years since the death of the H4 EAD program.
The program is still alive today!

In early 2017, immigration lawyers were too scared of the incoming Administration to stand up for immigrant women. Tech companies were running scared, telling everyone not to get involved. (1/2)
Durbin lies, Immigrants Die - is not just a catchy slogan. It is true and it has been happening. Media is silent on @senatordurbin’s ethnic cleansing of Indian Immigrants and his racist attacks on immigrants. Visit https://t.co/yqETPds9DW to learn more
Call @senatordurbin at 202-224-2152 to ask him why he wrongfully claims to be the “most pro immigrant” senator while holding hatred and racist feelings towards Indian immigrant families. His aggressive, racist, and hateful ways are well documented at https://t.co/IY3zakiHBc
