+1 This is the correct analysis of the article with sensational title. Of all the problems the immigration system has, this is probably one that is least fundamental and the bill would solve basically zero problems for the nation and is simply a political question of who gets to win a limited resource between various foreign players.

The entire premise of "limiting immigration" is discrimination based on a binary national origin/citizenship (i.e. you happened to be one of us or not) so it is comically laughable to talk about how to make such system "fair" without opening it to everyone, which has practical issues. Immigration is an inherently political mechanism constructed as a result of amalgamation of various underlying game theoretic balances and trade-offs over the years between nation states. It's important to note that you cannot divorce the individuals from their own governments/resource allocation when thinking about that.
