Immigration reform has lingered on the steps of the House of Representatives for almost two months, and its future is definitely … indefinite.
While the Senate was able to pass a comprehensive immigration bill with a super majority, the likelihood of comprehensive reform in the House is low at best. Instead earlier this month it was reported numerous House majority leaders, including Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.), are looking to adopt a piecemeal approach.
While topics like border security and a pathway to citizenship are very important provisions, there are a few important, albeit less sexy, provisions that will have an enormous impact on our nation, and are at risk of falling by the wayside.
The biggest of these is the increase of H-1B work visas and a set of new visas for foreign students and immigrants with a mastery of professions under the STEM category. If Congress does not pass visa reform it would be disastrous for the basic fabric of the U.S. economy, causing economic growth, education, and innovation to all stagnate.
the republican house care less about any of this stuff their only agenda is to stay in the house and get the senate which would give them almost total domination of the laws and deregulation.
anything along the lines of immigration is a show stopper they don't want to feed the progressive voter rolls 2016 near they want to eliminate any rise in voting that is not theirs, they are not about democracy they are about domination
