回复：关于中印配额问题的游说策略

不妥之处

俺的上一贴也有不慎之处, 最好还是不要和反移民团体同流合污. 他们除了反对, 是不会花心思弄清合法移民和非法移民, 中国职业移民和印度职业移民的区别的. 另外, 不可在中国人以外宣传这件事以寻求其他国家的支持, 以免挑起种族冲突, 反而不利于集中精力干我们的事. 大家默默的干就是了. 总原则是“悄悄的进村, 打枪的不要”.

写作要点

第一, 大家发EMAIL要避免种族问题, 要多谈多元化.
第二, 少谈中国, 多谈其他国家, 必要时也可把中国印归在一类, 当一回ROW. 达到目的更要紧. 可用你们的英文名署名.
第三, 给老美的数字的数字要直接引用, 不要任何运算, 不要太多.
第四, 写得一定要简洁, 不要长篇大论. 别人都明白的道理就不要写了.

两个样本(不介意别人照搬俺的样本, 不过希望大家写得更好)

(Example 1)

Dear President/Senator/Congressman,

I am an immigrant from the rest of the world. Like many other employment based immigrants, I am subject to per-country quota, and therefore I am still in waiting for green card right now. However, I would not complain about diversity policy because this policy makes people, ever from small their countries, still have opportunities. Under this policy, each country in each category can only take at most 7% of the total number of that category.

But, did you notice that India born EB2 immigrants took the 21% of total EB2 numbers while almost all countries EB3 even did not reach 7% ceiling when all visa numbers are consumed? This fact totally defeated diversity policy and is unacceptable by people from other countries. The reason is that each category is allowed to use unused numbers that are carried from the up-level category WITHOUT LIMITATION. Totally 22,076 were carried over from EB1 to EB2 in FY 2008. India born EB2 immigrants used 11,561 ones out of 22,076.

What about EB3? There are more people from more countries waiting in this category. They got NOTHING from 22,076 carry-over visa numbers from EB1. This is a diversity hole in that each EB category country theoretically has only 2,805 (7%) per-country cap before carry-over while one country acquired 11,561 carry-over visas.

I strongly solicit law makers to pay attention to this issue. It makes more sense to set a PROPER LIMITATION of using carry-over visa numbers from up-level category for each country of each category, such that carry-over visa numbers may be distributed over more countries. Diversity may be abided by.

Thanks for your consideration.

(Example 2)

Dear President/Senator/Congressman,

My name is XXXXXX, and my story is simple. I am one of the numerous people who immigrated to the United States in search of a better life for myself and my family. As many others who are here on work visas, I am subject to a per-country quota when filing for permanent residency. Still, I believe in the diversity policy because it provides an opportunity for people from every nationality to live in and subsequently contribute to this country.

Under this policy, prospective permanent residents filing under the EB category, which is further subdivided into three categories, from one country can have at most 7% of the entire allowance of that category. However, in the EB2 category, Indian immigrants took 21% of the total EB2s granted in fiscal year 2008 and China took 9.9%. None of any other countries reached 7% cap.

How did this inequity occur? EB1’s unused quotas trickled down to EB2 without regard to the nationality of the applicants. In fiscal year 2008, a total of 22,076 quotas were carried over from EB1 to EB2. Without the discretion established by the diversity policy, 11,561 of 22,076 green cards (52.4%) were awarded to Indian immigrants. Furthermore, despite that most of the EB applicants were in the EB3 category, they did not share the rollover quotas from EB1. EB2 alone consumed the 22,076 remainder in fiscal year 2008. What resulted was that applicants in EB3 that did not reach the 7% ceiling, sharing the plight of waiting.

To resolve this crisis, I strongly urge lawmakers to reform the current practice of distributing unused EB1 visas. I feel that it is reasonable to set a proper restriction on using carry-over visa numbers so that immigrants from traditionally underrepresented countries and of neglected EB categories can have an equal claim to the American Dream.

I deeply appreciate your time and consideration.
