From Breitbart: A lobby group for Indian H-1B contract workers is trying to use the GOP’s planned 2025 reconciliation bill to get fast-track green cards for roughly 1.2 million Indian citizens living in the United States.

The lobbying effort is built on the hope that President Donald Trump’s West Coast business allies will defeat the rising skepticism of many voters and GOP legislators, many zig-zagging Democratic legislators, and President Donald Trump’s American-first mandate.

“There’s a blank slate at the moment,” immigration attorney Leon Fresco told many of the Indian migrants during a phone conference hosted by the Immigration Voice lobby group on Sunday night.

Fresco, who worked as an advisor for Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) as the “Gang of Eight” amnesty was being drafted in 2013, speculated, “We don’t know this could literally be the best of times, or this could literally be the worst of times.”

The report also quotes Aman Kapoor, president of Immigration Voice, as saying, “We believe that the time is now as the upcoming new administration takes over. There is new energy, there is now a desire to make changes, and we want to be part of that change.”

Breitbart further writes:

Unfortunately for the Valley’s start-up investors, experienced American software experts want to be paid with equity shares from the Wall Street buyouts. Instead of that free-market bargain, many investors prefer to hoard their shares by hiring foreign experts who can be paid with government-provided green cards and citizenship.

The renewed Indian push for green cards emerges from a different source — the million-plus Indians who have been imported for routine jobs in technology, accounting, healthcare, recruitment, or management at Fortune 500 firms and their subcontractors.

The report explains that the U.S. offers 140,000 green cards each year to the employees of U.S. companies, with a “country cap” so the cards are shared out to many diverse countries.

However, over 1.2 million Indian workers and family members are currently waiting in line for green cards.

Aaron Levie, CEO of Box, had claimed last month, “Our high skilled immigration system is frozen in time and not responsive to the market. We have far more demand for the top talent to work for and start companies here than we let in. It’s a bipartisan issue that politicians don’t touch. Someone like Elon finally could do it.”

X user Charlie Foxtrot responded, “The US has laid off 150k workers in this year alone. Any company that claims they are starved for talent should check this pool first, before looking abroad. Also, any company that lays off US workers should be ineligible for H1Bs for 3 years.”

Immigration lawyer Greg Siskind claimed on Dec. 15, “If the US is to stay competitive, Elon must win this ideological fight over Stephen Miller.”
