Lawmakers in Congress introduced a bill on Tuesday that aims to keep more Southeast Asian refugee families together, advocates say. The Southeast Asian Deportation Relief Act would place limitations on the Department of Homeland Security’s authority to deport refugees from Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos. The bill could have a significant impact for an estimated 15,000 Southeast Asian refugees, roughly 80% of whom were convicted of a crime and have completed their sentences but have final orders of removal and face deportation. “It is profoundly wrong for us to send refugees where their human rights are not protected and guaranteed.”The legislation would prevent DHS from detaining or deporting Southeast Asian refugees who arrived in the U.S. prior to 2008. And that still threatens their lives every single day through these deportation orders to countries that they fled as refugees,” Dinh said.

If there is one thing that Barger wished her clients knew, it is that DEI impacts everyone across the healthcare sector, no matter their race, disability, sexual orientation, or position in the C-suite.

☆ Side hustle and 'polywork' culture is really just a desperate reflection of a low-paying job market

Still, the buzz around polyworking fails to consider that many are not pursuing multiple work opportunities voluntarily. For many, working multiple jobs is a necessity.

Roslansky shares what he's learned the first six months of being CEO and leading the company through a pandemic. It's been six months since I became LinkedIn's chief executive and, as I shared on day one, I never imagined I'd step into this new role during a pandemic.

In March 2017, almost 19 years later, I became a naturalized citizen at 24. There are a number of different ways to qualify for a green card, including through family, marriage, employment, or asylum status. From the time when we filled out the application to our official citizenship ceremonies, it took about two years.
