Blanket immigration rules need to end when it co es to humans who are contributing to the fabric of this Nation. Each case needs reviewed individually. Help the underemployment issues in this country and hire more people to do the case by case reviews.

It is long past due that legal, and hard working visa holders get treated fairly. Voice of these people have been ignored for too long.

Why does President Trump ,who is a business man ,not want to encourage businesses to set up here to create jobs for Americans? He should remember this country was built on small businesses. With permanent residence for business owner and his immediate family more people would be prepared to do this

We are honest hard working families. Investing in businesses in America, employing American citizens, we pay taxes. Our kids attend schools and graduate but once they reach 21 they must attend college or find another way to stay. They can no longer remain a dependant in their parents E2 visa. There are very few options for them so they are forced to return to a country they no longer know, leaving without their families. Even after they have graduated from college there are no guarantees they can stay. Having to use their education they got here in another country. Separating families like this is so wrong, we can here legally our children had no choice but to come with us. There is also no pathway for us and our businesses to gain green cards or citizenship. We run many small businesses throughout the USA. We would just like the opportunity to have our voices heard and be included within the immigration discussions. We have had one child leave already when he turned 21, it was heartbreaking. Thank you

Please look at legal immigration reforms to protect US based businesses. Allowing families to stay together protects these businesses and the US jobs they create . No US job or business is too ‘small’ not to count! Time to act in protecting US Jobs from the ground up. This isn’t just about the corporate world

I have been in the USA for 8 years as a dependent on my parents' E-2 business visa. After I complete school, I would love to attend a top US university to continue my education, and it devastates me that after my student visa expires, I will have no right to work or stay in the country I have lived in for as long as I can remember. Please, please consider the status of E-2 dependents like me, and give us (legal immigrants, whose parents have brought investment and employment to this country), a path to citizenship. Thank you.
