In presidential campaign Indian-origin US Senator Kamala Harris said that she is in favour of lifting the existing per-country caps for employment based green cards, 95 per cent in line for legal permanent residency are primarily from China, India, the Philippines and Vietnam. Harris’ presidential campaign, which started early this year, in recent weeks is not doing well and has been polling low among more than a dozen and half Democratic presidential aspirants.
On Tuesday, she reached out to over 24 million Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders in the US and collectively called the Asian Pacific Islander American (APIA) community, which is the fastest growing demographic group in the country.
A plan of action for Asian Pacific Islanders Americans released by her presidential campaign said the current policies like per-country caps for employment-based green cards effectively penalise immigrants for their country of origin.
