According to Bloomberg Government, The Department of Homeland Security spending bill dropped the previously drafted provisions that would have helped immigrants stuck in the green card backlog. The previously drafted provision would have salvaged the unused immigrant visas from recent fiscal years. More than 200,000 immigrant visas in the family and employment categories were wasted last year. Green card waste comes from processing delays at USCIS. Chris Murphy (D-Conn) noted that many policy provisions had to be dropped during negotiations with Republicans. Lawmakers are hoping to enact the spending bill before government funding runs out on March 11. The bill needs 60 votes to pass in the Senate.
