Would you be in favor of increasing the general US immigration cap by 65000 and abolishing H1B completely? Because I would. If you are not in favor of that then perhaps there is a motive to your concern other than racial harmony.

There is no 'general US immigration cap', because most immigrants are family members who pretty much get to come as long as they pass some checks.
