Maybe they should try to get rid of immigration limbo.
The quota numbers are laughable and the rule that no country should get more than 7% per year is even worse. See Employment based section at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_residence_(United_States)#Immigration_eligibility_and_quotas http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_residence_(United_Sta...
Since pending immigrants can't vote, I guess no one cares.
- blizkreeg 16y agoYes, of course. That is the root of the problem. This bill is a good effort to augment legal immigration reform.
- ericd 16y agoI would imagine that the quotas are to make sure that no single secondary culture becomes dominant in the US and creates a split culture. It's harder to culturally assimilate many from one culture than a few from each of many cultures. Immigration without any limits could be very bad for the long term health and stability of the country. I think they should tack on a points system like Canada's to help the most qualified get into the country. Letting grad students stay without hassle is, in my opinion, a no brainer. Universities are far better judges of merit than the INS.
