    | The bill doesn't directly increase the total number of Green Cards
    | for the employment-based category, but it does speed the adjustment
    | of mostly already-present Indian nationals on H-1B and L-1 visas,
    | while slowing the rest of the world's arrivals.

    | Kramer and Hickenlooper trotted out familiar excuses to defend their
    | bill. Kramer: "It's no secret that our immigration system is
    | broken...." Hickenlooper: "Fixing our immigration system will help
    | fix our workforce shortage and spur economic growth." In the U.S.
    | House of Representatives, Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) introduced a
    | similar bill that has eight Republican cosponsors and 75 Democratic
    | cosponsors.

    "Biden's "genocide" remark forced the White House to do damage
    control over the loaded rhetoric. The Clinton administration used
    similar language to justify the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. Everyone
    thinks what Biden said was dumb. Then Trump repeats Biden's
    "genocide" rhetoric." - Pedro Gonzalez <URL:https://twitter.com/emeriticus/status/1514455739947012099>
