Apple CEO Tim Cook Urges U.S. Senate to Pass the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act

Apple CEO Tim Cook (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/tim-cook/) this week tweeted in support of the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act (https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/1044/text), urging the U.S. Senate to move quickly to pass the bipartisan bill, which would eliminate per-country limits on employment-based green cards and increase per-country limits for family-sponsored green cards.

"Immigrants make this country stronger and our economy more dynamic," said Cook. "As a first step toward needed comprehensive reform, I urge the Senate to move quickly to pass the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act. The contributions of these workers are critical to America's future."





The U.S. House of Representatives passed the High-Skilled Immigrants Act in July, but the Senate has so far blocked the bill.





Apple and Cook frequently back pro-immigration legislation. Earlier this month, for example, Cook lent his name to Apple's amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of DACA (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/10/02/apple-amicus-brief-supporting-daca/), the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals immigration policy that protects "Dreamers" from deportation.
