灭顶之灾要来了！HR1044通过后中国留学生办绿卡将有六年寸草不生

我已经写信给了Ted Cruz，希望有用吧，我已经有绿卡了，但是不希望之后的童鞋被烙印抢了位置，我们中国人还是要团结一心

大家写反对信可以参考一下这篇文章, 这个文章写的比较有理有据：
https://cis.org/North/View-Left- ... Tax-Bill-Gift-Haves

The bill favors four already lucky groups of Haves while disadvantaging everyone else:

1.the high-tech industries that use the H-1B program to increase their already high profits;
2. the big city (notably Manhattan) real estate developers in the EB-5 program;
3.rich Chinese in the same immigrant investor program; and
4.upper crust Indian nationals in the H-1B program.

The Total Losers, and What they Lose

1.American Workers. Any program change that strengthens the H-1B program, which has close to a million semi-indentured workers in it, means that fewer citizens and green card holders are hired in these reasonably well-paying jobs.

2.American Investors. The principal use of EB-5 funds is to provide what is known in the trade as "mezzanine financing", that is loans without liens, to big city real estate developers; routinely EB-5 investors get 1 or at most 2 percent for their money, while the market rate is as high as 10 percent. So U.S. investors are being shunned in favor of EB-5 ones.

I must say that this is not a population to spend many tears on; these are passive investors who probably do not know that they are being discriminated against as they have many other investment opportunities. Though I have been writing about EB-5 for years, it did not dawn on me until recently that this was a group hurt by the program; it certainly is not an organized group.

3.Would-be immigrants from the rest of the world. Generally, for every HR-1044-favored would-be migrant who would get a visa faster there is a non-favored would-be migrant who will have to wait much longer than previously. These are in both employment-based and in family-based migrant categories, so if you are an Argentinian, a Belizean, a Canadian or a Dane, or an Estonian or a Fijian, and you have a green card visa waiting for you, HR-1044 will set back your dreams for years.

有什么办法在主流媒体上发声么，投稿，找采访什么的？
找那些关注移民，红脖的媒体。自己不太懂，不知道有没有在媒体行业做的是否了解？
觉得也是很好的机会去考虑如何增强华人在美国的政治影响力。

目前只有35892人发声，距离100000还差得远，大家一起加油哇！

这个是我的模版，加州的小伙伴们可以发给 https://www.harris.senate.gov/contact/email，   https://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/， 她们是加州的federal senator
title: Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2019 (hr-1044, S.386)
Dear Senator Harris,
“Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2019” or HR1044, S 386 is one of the most unfair and dangerous proposals regarding immigration. This legislation intends to remove per-country cap on Green Cards issued every year, benefits only citizens from certain countries and allows them to flood the entire employment-based Green Card system. Since certain countries already have a large amount of pending applications, this bill will definitely give them the exclusive access to employment-based Green Cards over the next few years, and cause applicants from other countries to have to wait 8+ more years. Moreover, this bill intends to shift the current immigration system to a first come, first served process which is nowhere close to a merit based system.
I understand the current system is not perfect, but at least it provides a relatively even field for citizens from every country in the world to have a chance to gain permanent residency in the United States by having a professional job, paying taxes and contributing to the diversity of this nation and provides USCIS with room to review their cases based on their contribution.
I feel the urgency to request you, Senator Harris, to consider voting 'No' on bill S386 as this bill does not ensure fairness but only brings unfairness to Green Card applicants from most countries, and brings a negative impact to my family and my community.
Sincerely,
***

W大和各位地里的大牛同胞们，有一件事我不太能理解：作为政治家，不分派系立场，必要的素质是可以全面地看问题。他们愿意做一件事情的原因不是它完美无缺，而是利大于弊。HR1044除了能够短期把印度裔移民全部审理完之外，几乎是百害无一利。那么为什么它能在众议院高票通过、为什么不分红蓝议员们都支持呢？这个帖子专注在为什么要反对HR1044上，但没有解释为什么议员会支持。这个问题不搞清楚，作为华人/华裔的我们真的很难说服他们，因为立场太不一样了
