The reason I think this Bill should pass is for these reasons:


- H1B Visa Holders are usually High Skilled Employees and making it easier for them to get Green Cards would allow Atlasia to retain the best and brightest from the world which would benefit our economy greatly.

- Kids of H1B Visa Holders once they turn 21 are required to go back even if they have lived here for over 15+ years and I dont think that is right and they should be allowed to stay here

- This does not take away job opportunities from people already living here because this only applies to H1B visa Holders who are already living here and have been here for more than 5 years

Substance aside, can we not write bills in the imperative?

Proposing this amendment to make some formatting changes. Is the amendment friendly?

Razze and OSR make fine points on this issue. I am in support of this bill.
