Since the skill based EB category has 7% birth country cap, the category should be renamed from "Employment Based" to "Diversity based on Job Offer," which is the true intent of this category. Maybe Congress should pass an #Immigration bill to clarify that. Oh wait....

As a co-sponsor of the EAGLE Act, I will work to attach it to the NDAA to help immigrants build some of the critical technology that is going to keep us ahead of China, strengthen our national security, and expand our industrial base.

@elonmusk Despite giving my all youth years to US as a physician, serving in hurricane Sandy to COVID pandemic, risking my life for Americans during pandemic and paying millions in taxes I am stuck in decades of inhumane green card backlog. Legal immigration system is a disgrace. No

Caps on employment-based visas are holding back our economy at a time when so many industries are hurting for workers. Our bipartisan EAGLE Act is a commonsense fix so employers can focus on hiring immigrants based on their merit, not their birthplace.

The immigration system is broken for those who are trying to legally come to our country for a better way of life. It’s time to change this. My legislation will be a win for all Americans as it will improve our inefficient immigration system which has contributed to illegal

Biden Administration and Tech Companies are complicit to and subservient of H1B human traffickers. We have to just admit it. There is no hope that Members of Congress or anyone else can persuade the staff at the WH who all want tech jobs when they leave WH. 2/3

Thank you, Congressman Rich McCormick, for appreciating the valuable contributions of the Indian community. US is the only country that discriminates skilled immigrants by birth country. It's time for Congress to reform the #immigration system. #GCBacklog

I have B-Tech from IIT and MBA from Columbia university. Not only that I was in top 10% of my class at Columbia. But I have no path to GC despite of working in USA for last 15 Years. Thanks to Country based discrimination in GC allocation and inaction from politicians.
O'Leary Ventures Chairman Kevin O'Leary @kevinolearytv says bad U.S. immigration policy is resulting in a brain drain and Canada is benefitting from H1-B visa problems.

We are disappointed to see the bipartisan age out protection amendment not get a chance for a House floor vote. This amendment was led by @RepDeborahRoss and cosponsored by six Republican members. Like last year, it would have passed easily with broad bipartisan support.
I’m disappointed that Republicans blocked my bipartisan NDAA amendment to protect Documented Dreamers, despite a similar amendment passing in last year's bipartisan NDAA. I will continue using every avenue available to get legislation across the finish line this Congress.

Green Card backlog is creating undue hardship, stress and suffering to many families, sponsoring HB 1535 is just a start to make things right for hard working families.

@ApuGK1 @immigrationgirl She is distracting with useless "solutions". The backlog will maybe reduce to 100 years from 400 years. The solution is to first remove per-country caps. Only then all these solutions makes sense. And promise me you will go through this video. https://t.co/lEZ7JGuz6h

@NFAPResearch #HR1044 passed house w/ 365 bipartisan votes. Then it passed R majority Senate unanimously (with changes) after being blocked by @SenatorDurbin for 1 yr. Then Dems in the house blocked it over frivolous objections & prevented it from becoming law by running clock out cc: @paulg

one of the easiest policy wins i can imagine for the US is to reform high-skill immigration. the fact that many of the most talented people in the world want to be here is a hard-won gift; embracing them is the key to keeping it that way. hard to get this back if we lose it.

Note - Supreme Court did not **require** @Harvard to increase the number of students admitted, as a "pre-condition" to their decision ending race-based admissions. Reminder - @SenatorDurbin wanted more greencards as precondition to removing country of birth based immigration.

US has one of the most antiquated, broken #immigration system with birth country caps for skilled workers and applicants submitting paper applications with checks. Congress gets the blame for not having passed an immigration bill in 30 years. Add USCIS' inefficiency into the mix
One of America's greatest superpowers is its ability to attract international students, entrepreneurs, and high-skilled workers in huge numbers. But it's squandering that incredible advantage.
