Absolutely no chance it will pass. HR1044 is an immigration voice gimmick to extract donations from gullible immigrants. Rand Paul has already come up with a proposal to increase GCs in the senate so he will block it for sure. Another decade wasted by desis in endless convincing of reps and senators.
This article talks about exactly that - https://www.am22tech.com/fairness-for-high-skilled-workers-act/ From the article - "House has passed HR1044 on June 2019 to remove the green card country limits but the Senate’s version is still blocked by Rand Paul at this time. Bloomberg reports that Paul blocked as he wants an amendment to include Nurses in the bill as they stand to get a waiting period of 8+ years if this bill is passed."
Probably not in the senate tbh.
Not the first time similar bill passed the House
Which bill passed the House before?
Google HR3012. It was passed in 2011 and still on hold in Senate 😅
2011 similar bill passed in house but blocked in senate and died
Name calling an entire group as evil, coward and goons and expect not to be flagged?
The chances are roughly zero as long as McConnell is in charge. He unilaterally decides whether or not a bill goes up for a vote.
While talking to the senator make sure to dive deep into the actual problems - 1. Why aren't the consultancy companies being persecuted for bringing low quality workers? Why were the American companies who outsourced this are not persecuted too? 2. If US gives out more visas than green cards per year, what is the government's strategy for the excess number of people? Is there a study/committee on how their lives are getting affected? 3. Why is there no merit based immigration? Why does someone wanting to be in US require to win a lottery to get H1B? That's the exact opposite of merit based. 4. Why was the current backlog allowed to grow so big that now it will take years to drain it? Which department/agency is responsible for it?
Those are great questions and I hope we can get a bill that resolves them. Hr1044/s386 makes things even worse though.
Why is every anti 1044 post getting flagged? I have real concerns about the backlog being mostly consultants. That's not racism, that is a legit concern.
I think it passing in the senate is tough because even one senator can put it on hold forever. So there’s no point discussing about it. The only best thing to hope is for the President to create a merit based system.
How can one senator block it? Isn't it based on majority vote?
They can hold it and put it on hold forever
