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

The House passed @RepKenBuck’s and my bipartisan bill to make our visa system fairer for skilled immigrants legally working in the US. #HR1044 has 200+ Dem and 100+ GOP cosponsors. If @POTUS is serious about merit-based legal immigration, he should help usher this bill into law.

The Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act creates a fair and equitable “first come, first serve” system under which U.S. companies will be able to focus on what they do best—hiring smart people to create products, services, and jobs in our districts. #HR1044

An immigration policy that is 'America First' still needs to allow immigrants into America, writes former Sen. Trent Lott. Highly skilled visa applicants should be welcomed with open arms, not made to jump through hoops: nbcnews.to/2L1rwZx
