Actually, a points-based green card will be available under this immigration reform—for the first time since 1965, possibly since immigration limits were first placed on the US in the 1920s. Unclear who pushed for this provision, as no advocacy organization I'm aware of considered a points-based system to be within the realm of possibility until the bill was introduced.
