Just got the news (from a friend who works around capitol in DC), that Dems are not planning to pass legal immigrant provisions to the senate parliamentarian or in BBB. They are just dangling the carrot to create Twitter news in support of parole provisions(legal immigrants know how to use a computer more than an illegal immigrant I guess) to create pressure on parliamentarian. Once that's done they are planning to conveniently drop legal provisions. So if you are planning to switch jobs and waiting for GC recapture, I strongly advise you to stop day dreaming. (Seeing too many of these posts, just wanted to give a general update).
Dem couldn’t care less for EB.
What does your friend in DC do get this update?
What's parole provision
If you are illegal immigrant, you will get basic amnesty. Border patrol cannot prosecute you and you can get benefits like every US citizen and can go into food stamps etc. It is basically a green card without a path to citizenship.
What’s the cutoff date for parole? Is it still 2011?
Surprise surprise. Who here really believed them that they were trying genuinely?
Yeah op is right. Let's get trump back, I miss the exciting renewals where you don't know if you'll get rfe or reject for a routine extension. And man why did dems remove the h4 ead restrictions put by trump? We gotta get back to 2018
That’s a false dichotomy you’re portraying
Can he help understand why the democrats seem to hate Indian immigrants so much? I can understand (and disagree) with holding them hostage until the undocumented immigrants are provided a path to legalization. At this point, there seems to be more to this than what is apparent to the eye
Perhaps to appease the nativists by saying that they stopped this segment of immigrants.
Wake up, we are called tech worker, or the privileged. They just can’t outright hate us because we are immigrants at the same time. But if you’re making more than $200k you the group they want more tax not benefits.
Guys legal immigration bills will NEVER pass because of AILA. AILA supports illegal immigration because more money will flow to them but if Indians get GC, thats a huge blow to them (no more unlimited H1 renewals, PERM filing every time you move jobs, etc). AILA will lobby (bribe) the fuck out. The only solution for this is if students from India stop coming to US because of GC issues then the universities will counter lobby to get GC bills passed but sadly the dumb-moronic Indian students don't understand what they are signing up for and continue to come in large numbers so universities have no incentive either.
How do we spread awareness and start campaign against University students coming US. 1) If we all record videos(esp ppl from top schools and above average schools) on struggle with GC and ask students to reconsider to a different destination, it will strike a chord 2) Reach out to University alumni association and explain the problem and talk about how you have moral obligations to make sure your juniors don't make the same mistake, so letting them know you are creating awareness video and have nothing against the school. Action speaks louder than words. We should think about forming a consortium or something - esp ppl who did masters here and are stuck in backlog
The push should be towards merit based immigration, then GC backlog clearance and then removal of country cap in order.
Seems BS.. or your friends friend is good at mind reading. Parliamentarian doesn't make decisions based on tweets
Thanks for the update!
