US Congress will never fix the immigration system. Not my lifetime at least.
The reason is rooted into how PACs and in turn mega money and corporations work behind the scene to fund and elect politicians. It’s advantageous for companies such as Google or Amazon to have a pool of labor that cannot leave their job without jeopardizing the immigration status of them and their family. It keeps competition down and less turnover.
The status quo also serves easily talking point for politicians to flame their base. Immigration is no longer a policy issue as it should be. It’s now a way for politicians to score easy points. One side thinks it’s an attempt on electoral demographics change while other side wants broad reforms under the umbrella of “comprehensive immigration reform” - for them even skilled worker immigration I should be tied to the whole dreamers act. At the end it’s not going anywhere with the current status quo. Backlogs are ever growing and some of the case dates are as long as 50years.
