I have been lawfully in the United States for 17 years (since age 10), yet had no pathway to citizenship other than marriage. A couple years ago, I decided I’d create a short film to raise awareness about this issue. Watch the full film at youtu.be/tOS-4gCVk30 (1/5).

Typical employment based immigration process in the United States
Worker: Can I get an employment-based green card?
America: Do you have a job offer?
Worker: Yes.
America: Can you get prevailing wage determined to prove you won't be underpaid?
Worker: Done.
America: Conduct a recruitment process to see if there are any qualified Americans for this job?
Worker: Completed, no qualified Americans found.
America: Now submit all your documents proving you meet all the criteria for the job and immigration petition.
Worker: Done
America: Congratulations, your immigration petition is approved.
Worker: Great, can I have my green card now?
America: Actually NOW tell me where were you born?

It’s important to recognize that there is bipartisan support for expanding legal immigration and allowing people to come and contribute.
New Senate bill has a few surprising provisions: more family & employment green cards, age-out protections for children of H-1B visa holders waiting for green cards & a path to permanent residence for Afghans parolees. @gsiskind @SIIA_US @ImproveTheDream forbes.com/sites/stuartander…

One of the most dangerous streets for pedestrians and cyclists? Not anymore.
We worked with Fortaleza, Brazil, to make changes to Leste Oeste Avenue — a previously deadly road. In 2022, zero people died on Leste Oeste. #VisionZero #ChangeStreetsChangeTheWorld
Uma pisadinha de leve no freio, ao passar pela Av. Leste-Oeste, trouxe mudanças bem importantes para a segurança no trânsito. 🚦🛻🏍️
ALT Foto de uma travessia de pedestres na Av. Leste-Oeste. A imagem tem uma moto e um carro parados no sinal e, ainda, a ilustração de uma placa de rua com o nome da avenida. A placa tem, ainda, duas frases destacadas: uma riscada e outra em destaque, na cor amarela. A frase riscada diz "Uma das mais perigosas para pedestres e ciclistas de Fortaleza". Já a que está destacada diz "Nenhuma morte no trânsito em 2022".

Scenes from work in progress in Rajendra Nagar, Delhi. New pedestrian crossings, benches, and native plant species planters. We are two weeks in to this transformation project — the final components will be put in place next week!
So good to see one of my many homes taking steps to becoming more a more people-centered city 🇨🇴
Bogotá's Semana de la #MovilidadSostenible continued yesterday with a visit to San Felipe's Barrios Vitales — a project to redistribute public space from vehicles to pedestrians through tactical urban planning and infrastructure interventions. movilidadbogota.gov.co/web/b…

In cities with efficient cycling infrastructure, road blockages don't stop residents from making it to work.

“The immigration system wouldn’t care that we had lived here legally, for 20 years. Magic. It’s like we were never here!“
A wonderful article by Julie, which describes why it is necessary to create a pathway for American raised and educated children.
