ITI welcomed the introduction of the EAGLE Act of 2021 from @RepZoeLofgren & @RepJohnCurtis , which would eliminate arbitrary per-country caps on employment-based immigrant visas. This measure is critical to furthering U.S. innovation and job growth.

Per-country visa caps hurt the American economy—preventing U.S. employers from staying competitive—& hurt families. I've introduced the bipartisan EAGLE Act w/ @RepJohnCurtis to move toward a better system.
