Barring those fleeing persecution though unsafe countries is not a solution. By law the U.S. must allow those fleeing persecution fair and legal access to the asylum process. Punishing those unable to get visas and direct flights to the U.S. is punishing those most likely in need.

AILA welcomed the announcement the Biden administration is building out a process to allow U.S.-based individuals and organizations to more easily sponsor Ukrainian refugees but must redouble its efforts to correct what continues to be starkly disparate treatment of other populations.
H-1B lottery time is upon us. Good luck to all of the applicants this year. I am hoping that each year USCIS will see the value of our foreign global workforce and increase or remove the H-1B cap system. Hope rings eternal.

We applaud the Biden administration to finally that attracting the best and brightest world wide is the best strategy for the U.S. economy. We must also remember that is it not only STEM immigrants that benefit the U.S.. Refugees, non-stem degreed workers, skilled and unskilled worker also benefit the U.S. economically and socially. One step forward many steps to take. There is so much room for improvement.

Fighting for immigration reforms goes with high stakes during a time when most Americans support immigration reform to fix a much needed outdated, broken system.
Despite tough odds, immigration advocates are urging Democrats in Congress to back a path to legalization for undocumented immigrants.
Moving forward is looking like getting left behind again.
Immigration provisions in Democrats’ budget reconciliation bill are likely on the chopping block.
