Press Release
WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren (CA-19) – Chair of the House Immigration and Citizenship Subcommittee and author of H.R. 1044, the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act – today released the following statement on the status of legislative solutions to improve the employment-based immigrant visa system in America:
“I’m very disappointed that we have not yet been able to reach a compromise between the House and Senate on a version of the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act that creates the change we need and that can pass both Chambers of Congress. But I won’t give up hope that ongoing bipartisan and bicameral talks can get us over the finish line in the next Congress. I’ll keep trying.
“Unfortunately, the last-minute additions made in the Senate early this month defeated the congressional intent behind the House-passed bill. The Senate additions would create more backlogs instead of clearing backlogs, which was the very point of the House bill. To be clear, my effort at streamlining the system was aimed at people currently working in the United States – approved for work visas after their employers advertised and found no Americans to fill the job – and who now wait, sometimes for decades, for their visa numbers to finally arrive.
“I have been working for more than 12 years to end the per-country limits. There is simply no reason that the 25 countries of Europe, with a total population of 200 million, should be allocated three times more green cards than the seven countries in the Indian subcontinent, with roughly 1.7 billion inhabitants. Allocating green cards by country of birth is a relic of the past that never made any sense, and it makes even less sense in the modern business world. Members of Congress must work together to get this right.”
Whatever happened to Fairness for American Workers ???
I’m afraid that there is, in fact, no shortage of “High-Skilled” Americans.
“There is simply no reason that the 25 countries of Europe, with a total population of 200 million, should be allocated three times more green cards than the seven countries in the Indian subcontinent, with roughly 1.7 billion inhabitants”
The reason is that the Europeans are related to us and would likely make good citizens and assimilate. At least most of the time; we obviously made a mistake when we let in your dishrag ancestors from Norway, hundreds of years after my Anglo-Saxon ancestors had established the country and allowed trash like yourself to end up in Palo Alto living large through no merit of your own.
But we can’t really say that about the 1.7 billion of the Indian subcontinent, can we? The evidence is in that they are some of the most greedy, corrupt and alien people we have ever had the misfortune to endure, and having NO reason WHY they should ever live and work here other then to benefit themselves and a few corporations, we shouldn’t bother to keep letting them take what was so hard fought for.
And America was never yours to give away. Think it’s long past time for you to vacate the Santa Clara Valley and head home to Norway.
Filthy Indian bitch Zoe is.
The backlog was solely due to Indian cheating, lying and racism, three things people from the Indian subcontinent excel in. Oh wait, the bill does not help Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Sri Lankans or Nepalese or Maldivans. It only helps lying cheating Indians and big tech.
Are there any American (Tech) workers left? American Tech workers come dead last.
Zoe & Mumbai Mike will keep trying... for the right price.
