The bright young kid from Saharan Africa has a less chance of being hired by a company right now because he will get his green card in 7 months, compared to 70 years for a less bright Indian worker. Companies can pay the Indian worker less to retain him for a decade since he cannot switch companies easily unlike the African worker. It also reduces their employee turnover so they prefer Indian workers. This new law will make it more likely for that African worker to get hired because everything would be on an even footing so the bright young kid would get preferred.
