S386 GOP Politics and Sen. Durbin

[AceMan]

Alright buddy I am out. Normally ppl send such behavior and posts to Mods. But here we are with you as forum owner calling people names.

I think you are over reacting here. We all wanted the bill to pass, but some are more invested in it than others. So while we are disappointed with the end result of s386, a better option would be to avoid sulking and directing anger and disappointment at the wrong person.

In fact we believe in different political spectrum in US with lot of similar interests. I have absolute respect for Q and I believe he reciprocates too.

He is not your opponent. I am taking this liberty to tell you because I respect you a lot and I can relate to lot your views.

Dear User,

A deal has been reached between Senator Durbin and Senator Lee. Here is a summary. You can read details at Greg Siskind Blog (https://www.visalaw.com/siskind-summ...t-2020-852020/).

We will do a major rehaul to WhereismyGC if this bill passes. Stay tuned!

Summary
1. Visa caps will be removed from Emp Based Categories from USCIS year 2022 onwards (i.e. Oct 2021 onwards)
2. Children will be protected as long as the 485 was filed before they turned 21
3. All EB applicants can file 485, 2 years after they have an approved 140.

We think this is a great compromise with a very good chance to pass.

Good luck to all.

Thanks & Regards,

Rick Scott is the third republican senator who got objected to this bill. Some thing is not going well in the background. The discussions are happening from almost a year, didn't he get a chance to talk with Lee about his amendments/objections. The argument is so silly and never ever expected this from a dumb senator.

I have been telling near & dear that in the last minute DT can phone a southern senator and put a hold on the bill. I did not expect the senator from Florida to do this. If it is not Florida, then it will be one from Southern R states. Bottom line is WH is not on board with this and Stephen Miller (the silent kingmaker) is standing in the room somewhere in the shadows.

This bill has a lot of things that R's want on H1B oversight. There is an immigration EO coming after the R' convention and perhaps some calculation going on. Only the inner circle will know what went on. I won't say the bill is dead. Perhaps Kushner can spin this to get it through. I am sure whatever they do now, it is tied to DT's re-election campaign.

Can you please explain what you mean by "Not yet"? There is nothing new in that article

I guess from the article it is listed as Senator Lee said he will keep pushing for it and keep working. So what he meant by "Not Yet" that we are not done yet and there is still scope or hope.

I doubt this is going to move anywhere, atleast not this year.

Thanks. I heard that also on the video replay yesterday evening but I am assuming he will say that and not say he is giving up. The calendar clock is a greater enemy to this Bill than anything else

Looking at how silly an objection Rick Scott put forth, I do not have that confidence. GOP has many more anti-immigrant senators and they would keep putting forth one objection or another. However I hope Lee has changed minds of at least 10 GOP senators so that in next senate, he can again bring S386 and then instead of UC ... just have a normal debate and get this passed.

The juveniles who called durbin racist, and said he is committing "geocide" etc etc, wonder if they have anything to say about Rick Scott's language based quotas?
