To all the people naively RTing Tech company tweets supporting our bill, if it were a priority of companies, do you think we would be getting screwed after all the money companies have been donating to Democrats?
Tweeting isn't advocacy, it's PR. They want you indentured.

PAULSON: "But what conservatives need to know about the EAGLE Act is that this bill is an enforcement bill that improves the integrity of our LEGAL immigration system."

You have one more morning to call every House office in your area & ask them to do the right thing & end discrimination by voting yes on the Eagle Act. Tell them they have never had the chance to save 1 million identifiable people’s lives with just 1 vote. Now is their chance!

Another way of paraphrasing the position of — “The beatings will continue until morale improves!!”
Imagine having the temerity to say that unless the U.S. accepts 200,000 more people per year, people from 7 different countries should keep facing discrimination!

Call every member of Congress in your state and ask them to vote Yes on #EagleAct. Say there is no reason to ban you from getting a green card solely because of where you were born. If you can visit your local office, even better! Show them our opponents are bots, you are people!

The Iranian govt joins other govts in causing distress in the USA - what's new? Seeing what they do to their own people, not surprised they are against equality and removing a legacy of a racist past.

We held our tongues for 12 yrs & after 18 months of empty promises from to put equality on the floor, we can't do it anymore.
Why did she kill the equality bill? Tech companies and immigration lawyers? Legacy will be #ForProfitRacism

Its a disgrace that u r represent the district with the highest population of backlogged immigrants in the nation. What have you done to help your constituents other than empty promises last 12 years ? How many $$$ did #BigTech pay you to screw us ?

She was able to get other immigration bills done only on her party line which proves that she has no intention to get EAGLE act done. works for the tech companies, not for her constuients. What a shame

Nothing says ‘betrayal’ like killing your own bill that had passed the senate unanimously. And then promising to bring it up next congress which she still hasn’t says a lot about her intentions right from the get go.She never expected senate to pass the bill, hence this charade

I just called Zoe and Hoyer office. The person on the phone in Hoyer office said that they could bring up the bill but said that they are getting some calls by people opposing the bill. Are other people calling in support of the bill?

What is happening is grossly inappropriate. The land of the free and justice should not support inequality and slavery, no matter how high the profits. Inequality and slavery are settled issues in US constitution. . you owe answers for your obstructionism.

Unfortunately, it looks like still believes in discriminating people based on their country-of-birth at the behest of her corporate masters. Why else would she veto her own bill by simply not bringing it up to the floor for a vote?

What a shame - was completely fine with bringing other immigration bills that had much less R support to the floor. Why not this bill? Is it because the beneficiaries bring no benefit to the party that she belongs to?
