印度裔美国议员：希望拜登上任后可以取消绿卡上限

来自伊利诺伊州的民主党国会议员Raja Krishnamoorthi是高技术移民公平法案（Fairness for High Skilled Immigrants Act）的共同发起人之一。他周六表示：取消每个国家就业型绿卡的上限，可以使印度IT专业人士的绿卡积压问题得以解决。印度的IT专业人士，他们大多是持H-1B工作签证高技术人才，来美国填补IT行业的短缺。但是他们却也是现行移民制度的最大受害者，因为现行移民制度规定每个国家移民的绿卡或永久合法居留权配额只有7%。

"我希望在乔-拜登政府的领导下，这个提案可以作为整个综合移民改革方案的一部分，最终能够在使这项立法可以在参议院通过，然后正式签署成为法律，”Krishnamoorthi与其他三位印度裔立法者--Ami Bera博士、众议院移民小组委员会副主席Pramila Jayapal和国会议员Ro Khanna在IMPACT峰会上说道。

Jayapal说：他们一直在研究一些与移民相关的问题，包括争取H-1B工人的配偶能够在美国工作的权利。解决无证工人的问题，其中有不少是印度人，还有6.5%的印裔美国人生活在贫困线以下。

国会议员Khanna也补充说：他真的相信印度裔美国人社区可以在宾夕法尼亚州，密歇根州和威斯康星州的摇摆州 "起决定性作用"。如果民主党总统候选人乔-拜登胜利，那（对于印度裔）将是历史性的，因为这个结果也意味着印度裔美国人卡马拉-哈里斯会成为副总统。


Indian IT professionals, most of whom are highly skilled and come to the US mainly on the H-1B work visas, are the worst sufferers of the current immigration system which imposes a seven per cent per country quota on allotment of the coveted Green Card or permanent legal residency.

One of the original co-sponsors of the Fairness for High Skilled Immigrants Act, Democratic congressman from Illinois Raja Krishnamoorthi said on Saturday that removing per country cap from employment-based Green Cards would remove the Green Card backlog for Indian IT professionals, who are being brought here often to fill the shortages in the IT industry.

"I'm hopeful that under a Joe Biden administration, we're finally going to be able to get this legislation through the Senate, and then signed into law and of course, as part of a comprehensive immigration reform package as a whole," Krishnamoorthi said during a virtual panel discussion with other three Indian-origin lawmakers -- Dr Ami Bera, Pramila Jayapal and Ro Khanna -- at the day-long IMPACT Summit.

Congresswoman Jayapal, who is vice chairman of the House Immigration subcommittee, said that they have been working on a number of immigration related issues including making sure that the spouses of H-1B workers are able to work in the US.It includes addressing undocumented workers, a number of whom are Indians. Referring to a recent report, she said that 6.5 per cent of Indian-Americans are living below poverty lines.

Probably for the first time, the four Indian-origin lawmakers, popular as Samosa Caucus, were having a virtual panel where congressman Khanna said that he really believes that the Indian-American community can "be decisive" in swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.The focus of the community, he said, is to work for Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential candidate, whose victory would be historic as this would bring Indian-American Kamala Harris as the vice president.

华人上船党只希望借懂王的手把门焊死

作为一个已经“上船”但是一直在为增加华人力量捐款捐时间的人，每次看到这种话真的很烦。可以说我认识的大部分华人都是希望美国华人数量越来越多的，但是总有些人因为某件事不满就上来把所有华人骂一遍，我不知道这样除了discourage很多人之外，能有什么正面意义？

加州的华裔议员还在支持所谓的平权法案，哎

一个国会议员把自己族裔的权益放在他所代表的美国人前，能长久当选才怪

这不是逼着摇摆的红脖子们改为挺川普？
