Thank you @ZoeLofgren @RepKenBuck for your leadership. We hope the Senate advances this important legislation.
Today the U.S. House passed legislation to ensure people from all countries are treated the same in the green card process. This promotes a fair high-skilled immigration system that’s good for business and our economy. #HR1044
