> A bill to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to eliminate the per-country numerical limitation for employment-based immigrants, to increase the per-country numerical limitation for family-sponsored immigrants, and for other purposes.

I'm not sure why we use numerical limitations at all.. Seems weird to have such a broad statue; what makes someone "high-skilled"?

Also weird, it's already passed earlier this year (I must be missing something here): https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/116/hr1044
