Fairness for High Skilled Immigrants Act: Wait Times and Green Card Grants

[OfTheCross]

In an overwhelming vote, the House of Representatives passed the Fairness for High Skilled Immigrants, a bill to phase out the per country limits on employment-based immigrant visas (or green cards), which lead to legal permanent resident status. The Senate is working on its own version of the legislation. The per country limits provide that no single nation can receive more than 7 percent of the total green cards issued in a year (unless they would otherwise go unused).

I actually like the per country limit. It may be detrimental to Indians and Chinese, but there's 2 billion of them. If we lift they cap they can easily dominate out new immigrants

The ONLY "high skilled immigrants" we should be admitting are those in the medical profession, after they have demonstrated (through testing and review) their abilities in their fields.

All the rest?
No thanks!
