Bill to cut per-country green card cap passes House
- techie128 7y agoThis is great news for employment based immigration. It makes the system FIFO and helps American workers by reducing the number of people waiting perpetually in line for a GC. This way people stuck in the backlog can move jobs easily and accept promotions which helps avoid depressing wages. This bill also strengthens protections for H1B to reduce fraud.
- lizardking 7y agoThe inability of foreign workers to move jobs easily constrains labor supply, thus pushing wages higher. I fail to see how any of this is good news for the American worker. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.
