Thread: There are 10 major problems caused by discriminatory per country limits on employment based green cards — over 1 million people in America cannot do the following without risking deportation:

1) change jobs

2) travel abroad to visit dying relatives

3) start a business
4) develop or file patents

5) report abuse or sexual harassment in the workplace

6) be the spouse or child of someone in the backlog who dies

7) be the child of someone in the backlog and turn 21

8) get a promotion to a much higher position in the company
9) ask for their visa paperwork or ask to participate in their visa petition process (including choosing their own counsel);

10) treat medical patients outside of medical employer practice.

(Plus many other side problems — kids cannot compete in US sporting events, etc)
There is no sense in splintering and doing 10 separate bills for each of these problems. That is what opponents of #greencardequality want (divide and conquer). Solving all 10 problems literally requires removing one sentence from the code. It is not a heavy lift. Get it done!

I am seeing a lot of stuff about the DACA decision, so just for my own sanity, I want to clarify some things for the people who might read this.

First, Roberts could not have easily joined onto a Conservative decision. There were not 5 votes for saying DACA was illegal.
Justice Kavanaugh's dissent did not say DACA was illegal. His decision solely said that Secretary Nielsen's memo was enough reasoning (even if done late). Only 3 justices said DACA was illegal. There were also not 5 votes for the principle that the decision is nonrenewable....
The Conservative justices were likely very concerned about being able to prevent a future 11-million person legalization executive order, and wanted to ensure they did not take reviewability on the table. And, none of the 4 conservatives agreed with J.Kavanaugh on Nielsen memo
