As your constituent, I urge you to oppose recent bureaucratic changes that disrupt legal, vetted immigration processing by forcing long-term legal applicants to leave the U.S. for routine processing. * This administrative overreach actively harms our state's economy and creates unnecessary red tape by:Straining American Businesses: Forcing legally employed, highly skilled workers to leave their jobs for uncertain consular interviews disrupts Texas employers, halts vital business operations, and costs our economy billions in lost productivity. * Creating a Massive Government Backlog: Flooding foreign consulates with hundreds of thousands of new, redundant interviews will crush an already failing bureaucratic system, creating massive taxpayer-funded waste. * Punishing Those Who Followed the Rules: These applicants have spent years paying thousands of dollars in fees, submitting to extensive biometric and background checks, and strictly following federal law on U.S. soil. * Bypassing Congress: This sudden shift functions as a unilateral regulatory overreach that alters long-standing legal frameworks without congressional input or approval. Please hold immigration agencies accountable, protect Texas businesses from government-induced labor disruptions, and stop this costly regulatory overreach.
