THE BASICS
There are three branches of the U.S. government, and they are here to work for American citizens.
As a U.S. citizen, you can engage in many activities that can help bring about the reform of our employment visa system and make it work for the citizens of this country, as well as new arrivals. In her book, “So You Want to Make a Difference,” Nancy Amidei lists a number of these activities:
Congress
- Suggest ideas for laws and draft legislation
- Build public support and educate others about an issue
- Draw attention to proposed laws by working with the media
- Testify to the merits of bills you care about
- Analyze current immigration regulations and offer alternatives
- Lobby for or against the passage of various bills and proposed rule changes.
The Court System
- Participate in Friend-of-the Court (amicus) briefs
- Take part in an appeal process
- File or participate in a lawsuit.
JOIN THE SWAT TEAM
The SWAT Team was formed in August 2019 by a retired software engineer and has grown into a dedicated group of activists committed to effecting change in the H-1B visa system. Their phone calls, faxes and emails have gone out to voice opposition to multiple attempts by Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) to pass S. 386, the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2019, by unanimous consent.
The SWAT Team has monitored the opposition and countered their attacks. They’ve provided information to media showing decline in middle-class income, thanks to imported cheaper labor. The Team also has responded to numerous articles in the press, attended relevant meetings and shared the information via blog posts and articles, and obtained “spy” shots of H-1B-dominant worksites and shared on social media. In a nutshell, the Team is an important “information portal” on the H-1B issue.
We are making a difference. Take Action. Join the SWAT TEAM!
