#IStandWithDurbin
#NoS386
2- @OrderOfAHEPA: “S.386 would impose unintended consequences upon non-backlogged countries such as Greece, and instead, tilt the scales in favor of countries with a heavy backlog”
#IStandWithDurbin
#S386IsRacist
3- @mypnaa : “This bill would eliminate the per-country cap for employment-based immigrant visas, exacerbating health workforce shortages that most impact vulnerable patients in rural and urban areas.”
#IStandWithDurbin
4- @NamsaUsa : “If H.R. 1044 and S. 386 become law, the backlogs will continue to grow, not just for everyone, but for Africans, and for Indian and Chinese too"
#IStandWithDurbin
5- @KAAction_ : “This is simply not legislation that should be enacted without hearings and the opportunity for many constituents – including Korean Americans – to have their say and be heard.”
#IStandWithDurbin

8- @NAGPS : “We are writing on behalf of our students, of academic programs, and of the future of American scientific progress and workforce concerning S. 386 and HR. 1044, the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act.”

#IStandWithDurbin
9- @IEEEUSA: “[IEEE-USA] recognizes that doing so [removing country caps] creates problems for EB applicants who are not from India and China. Moreover, Sen. Lee’s bill [S.386] fails to address the most fundamental problem with the EB system: it just isn’t big enough.”
