> What about some bright young kid from Saharan Africa doesn't get a fair chance at a H1b Visa.

Why not? They can go the student, OPT route and a shot at H1B the same as anyone else. Plus they'll get a green card faster than any bright Indian or Chinese kid.

EDIT: Changed some wording and "engineer" to "bright kid"

But the bright possibly partially self taught "bright kid" wont have the same support structure. Its just like WASP kids with a rich mommy and daddy who can support them in unpaid internships for those high status jobs.

How does keeping per-country green card quotas do anything at all to fix this problem? I'm not seeing any connection here.
