Legal employment-based immigration petitioners (tens of thousands of EB2/EB3
petitioners) are holding cash from the starving housing market. On the one
hand, they want to realize their American dreams by buying a home using
their savings, on the other hand, they have great fear for not being able to
quickly sell their homes if they're forced to immediately leave U.S.
The fear of having to immediately leave U.S. once they're laid off is like a
heavy dagger hanging over their heads, although most of them won't be laid
off because their experience and skills are complementary to those of
Americans. They spend their best years helping U.S. companies gain global
competencies. Although they're viewed by some short-sighted people as taking
jobs away from Americans, the truth is that they de facto have been helping
jobs stay in U.S. Otherwise these jobs could have been permanently
outsourced overseas, together with many other related jobs.
This fear prompted them to hoard cash in their savings accounts, and
prevented them from buying a home. We should help these heavily backlogged
legal employment-based foreign workers adjust their status, allow them to
file I-485, and issue them conditional green cards. They're backlogged
simply because they come from China and India, the two countries that have a
third of the world population. The two countries that have a third of the
world pupoulation are given only as few visa quota as to a small island
country.
We help them because they are helping us. We help them and they will help us
more. We help them and they will spend billions of dollars on the housing
market. That billions of dollars will produce chain reactions and will help
many American industries. That billions of dollars will help put America
back to work.. |
