The system needs to be revisited. I am a spanish citizen and I recently got my green card. 3 years ago, I got really lucky that my H1B got selected through the lottery. That said, that month waiting to know was really frustrating. You feel helpless. It's crazy to see how much your life can be affected because the computer chooses your number in a lottery. You feel helpless.
From my point of view, the solutions described above are steps in the right direction.
- Limiting the number of visas per company
- Prioritizing jobs according to different criteria like salary or how much the company needs the employee
- Limiting the amount of visas that one country can claim (similar to the green card lottery)

I came to this country at 17 as an undergrad and have a US tax payer funded Masters degree from a top 5 university (not that I believe US news ranking is all that important. I've been here 9 years and can fairly say that I'm as an integrated immigrant as any, but i wont be getting a greencard anytime before 2025 because I'm an Indian. From my perch i could also find it maddening that a UX designer who happened to be born say in the EU gets their residency in a matter of months with far less investment or attachment to this country. People don't come to this country as representatives of their government.
