Dear Friend,
We hope all is well with you and your family, and that you are safe and healthy.
This week, American Bazaar reported on Congressman Krishnamoorthi's conversation with Aziz Haniffa about the Congressman's upcoming primary election, immigration issues, and more. Aziz noted the Congressman's history of advocating for giving increased numbers of green cards to high skilled immigrants, and the Congressman told Aziz, "We have to be very strategic about making sure that our number one competitive advantage over the world, which is our immigration system, continues to remain sharp... I'm also right now spearheading legislation as part of the American COMPETES Act with regard to certain high-skilled immigration categories being able to basically get green cards over time."
The Congressman also joined hosts on WGN Radio to discuss the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. When asked about the recent effort to increase aid efforts to Ukraine, the Congressman said, "I think we have to do it, I think the Ukrainians are fiercely and courageously defending themselves. They are fighting on behalf of all democracies and freedom loving people around the world right now. 33 billion dollars is not cheap, as the President said, but what is the price of freedom? What is the price of democracy? In comparison to us fighting this aggression, I think what the Ukrainians are doing is far greater of a sacrifice right now."
The Daily Herald also reported on the developments near O'Hare airport that Congressman Krishnamoorthi toured recently. Despite complex engineering challenges, I-490 and an extension of Route 390 east to O'Hare are scheduled to open in 2025. The Congressman told reporters about the benefits of this project, noting that, "It's going to significantly reduce congestion... Instead of driving east on I-90 to go south on I-294 or reach O'Hare, drivers could opt for I-490 and save time and mileage... I could see a tremendous drop-off in traffic going into that I-294 south ramp near the airport."
