发帖数: 3394 | 1 03/12/2012: Hope for Irish E-3 Visa & H.R. 3012 Reportedly Faded Away
Today, Irish media reports that all attemps to negotiate and pursuade Sen.
Grassley have failed and they are losing their hope for these bills in the
Senate. It indeed is a grim news.
As the H.R. 3012 prospect was slowly slipping away, the Indian and Chinese
communities have been hangging on with the prospects for removal of per
country limitation to EB visas as inspired by the White House report that
the President supported so-called STARTUP programs including removal of per
country limit for Employment-Based immigration. For the reasons, people have
been closely watching the movement in the House on the JOBS bill which
people hoped to pick-up and include the H.R. 3012 type of per country limit
removal proposal, but as it has turned, the JOBS bill which the House passed
last week failed to include per country limit proposal to a great
disappointment to the Indian and Chinese communities. Worse yet, during the
weekend, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid disclosed his position on
immigration reform in connection with the sad story which media reported
headlined on a Mexican girl child who had been brought to the U.S. illegally
by the parents when she was four years old and excelled at the high school
as a Valedictorian but was now facing deportation by ICE that Sen. Harry
would not accept any piece-meal immigration reform legislative proporals
unless they included DREAM bill. During the same period, there was another
report on a Mexican student who graduated from the New York University Law
School after he had been brought to the U.S. when he was five years old and
facing no future for his dream of becoming a lawyer as he would not be able
to obtain a lawyer licence. These two DREAMer stories tore apart and broke
the hearts of the public last week. |
