Huuge if true.
Dan Crenshaw explains HR 1044:
1. This bill does NOT create new visas of ANY kind. It does NOT legally favor H1B visas for green card holders (this is a point of confusion because some would argue that a POTENTIAL outcome of this bill is that only current temporary visa holders will apply for green cards)
2. This bill does NOT create NEW green cards. It simply changes the line order, making it more fair for immigrants who applied first. Right now, an immigrant’s wait time depends on what country they’re from (smaller countries therefore benefit the most). With this new bill, its a “first-in-line” basis, meaning your wait time depends on WHEN you applied, not from WHERE you applied.
3. When someone says it doubles visas because it “increases the visas from 7% to 15%”, this is WRONG. It is NOT increasing the number of visas or green cards. That percentage change is referring to a change in the maximum allowed PROPORTION of family-based immigrant visas from any specific country. It has nothing to do with the total number of visas. The total number stays the same
4. It is pure speculation to say that this would cost American jobs or depress wages. There is no evidence for that. We should also recognize that we have more than 7 million job openings in America right now, and not enough workers to fill them. Wages are rising, 3.2% year over year, but especially for low-income jobs, at 4.4% wage growth.
Just the facts.
