This is such a terrible "fix".

“For the next 10 years, more than 90 percent of the employment-based green card will go to citizens of one country”

This is so unfair to citizens of other countries.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Indian immigrants. What they've been through is not tenable in the slightest. I think lifting the cap all together will be a better solution for everyone?

[stale2002]

What? This fix literally makes everyone equal.

Why should a person get priority just because they are from a certain country?

Instead, everyone should be treated exactly the same.

There is a saying about how treating people equally, looks like oppression to the people who were at the top before.

You made too many assumptions about me. I'm not at the top. I'm not even from the US.

>This is so unfair to citizens of other countries.

Not sure how it's unfair. The bill has a clause that anyone currently waiting will not be impacted.

>I think lifting the cap all together will be a better solution for everyone?

Not sure if you're serious. Even adding a few new green cards is politically impossible in the current climate. Just imagine the attack ads on TV for the next election.

[notabot]

Yes. I'm at least half serious.

    1. The system is unfair in the first place -- Indian's quota is not in proportion to their population.

    2. The bill tries to flush the queue, that leads to:

        2.1 The perpetuation of this unfair system.

        2.2 Other people who will still use this system get unfairly treated.

So I don't think this is a proper solution to this issue. If US really wants all the best and brightest, the cap should be lifted.

I wish is not passed. But seems to have a lot of support:

Really wonder who thought this was a great idea.

In a zero-sum situation, it is important to have an equitable distribution of pain.

Of course the cap should be abolished altogether, but while it exists the system is deeply unjust.
