Immigration
Congressman Shri Thanedar recognizes the vital role that immigrants play in enriching the nation's fabric. He has introduced the PHD First Act, which seeks to grant lawful permanent resident status and authorized dual intent to certain doctoral degree holders, emphasizing the need for skilled individuals in the country.
Additionally, he is a cosponsor of the U.S. Citizenship Act, offering an earned path to citizenship while addressing the root causes of migration and managing the southern border responsibly.
To improve detention conditions, Congressman Thanedar also supports the Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act, which sets humane standards for facilities housing detained immigrants.
He is also a strong advocate for the Eliminating Backlogs Act of 2023. This bill aims to increase the number of employment-based immigration visas, thus speeding up the legal immigration process for skilled workers.
