Thank you for contacting me regarding S.386, the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2019. I appreciate the time and effort you took to share your perspective with me on this important issue. Your input helps me stay informed on the issues most important to Missourians.
As you may know, Senator Lee (UT) introduced S.386, the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act, in an effort to facilitate a more equal access to immigration visas for foreign-born individuals. If enacted, the bill would increase the per-country cap on family-based immigrant visas as well as eliminate all country caps for employment-based immigrant visas. The bill would also establish transition rules for employment-based visas from FY2020 to FY2022, reserving a percentage of EB-2 and EB-3 visas for individuals who are not from the two countries with the largest number of recipients of those visas. For the unreserved employment-based visas, no more than eighty-five percent would be allotted to immigrants from any single country.
As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, with oversight of our immigration system, I believe Congress has a duty to protect our families and communities, and to uphold our immigration laws. I will continue reviewing this piece of legislation and keep your perspectives in mind should it come before the Senate for debate or a vote.
As always, I truly appreciate hearing your concerns. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future on other issues important to you and your community. It is a privilege to be your voice in Congress.
