Re:
Tech firms' nightmare: Vanishing green cards The entire situation is a shitshow. I know multiple families who immigrated to the US on H-1B for tech jobs 20 years ago but are still waiting for residency. Green cards are legally available but USCIS just won't process their applications, citing lack of resources. Now as their kids – who were as young as one year old when they came here – turn 21 they are being deported to their "home country", that they have zero connection with.
There is no DACA/DREAM equivalent for these people even though they did everything 100% legally and have greatly contributed to the US economy. There are estimated to be >960,000 people currently stuck in this limbo, mostly Asian and mostly in tech (
