ginetto, the problem is much deeper.
1. It's not about "diversity". Every year there were 60,000 comething H1b visas and 140,000 EB green cards. Which should have taken care of all these visas. The problem is that INS/CIS was wasting these numbers - not doing their job. Congress mandated them with these numbers - they were just sitting doing nothing.
2. The problem is not giving or not giving H1bs. The problem is H1bs should be given to those who deserve it. INS/CIS were handing H1bs on random manner without even carying to verify if a person is in status, if job is valid, etc. This led to clear abuse of H1b program. MOST of the consulting companies abuse of H1b program.
3. Labor certifications were done without even bothering to audit companies and verify the jobs. Basically how it was - you apply for LC, wait for 3-4 years, get approval. These government employees were doing virtually NOTHING - just putting their stamps time-to-time.
4. Green card/EAD/AP approvals were done almost automatically - again after couple of years of waiting.
The thing is, the congressmen, senate - were making laws, thinking how to attract talent. While these idiots sitting in INS/CIS offices were doing NOTHING. NOTHING!!! - making all these laws useless, attracting criminals and cheaters.
So... it really doesn't matter - you put 7% on India/China, 3%, 37% - it all will be the same. What SHOULD be done - is h1 lottery removed. H1bs must be scrutinized, job position/salaries verified. Prevailing wages increased. H1 workers must be protected against abuse, must be able to change jobs more freely, the rules must be made clear - what is "in status", what is "out of status". Labor certification - really be CERTIFICATIONS, not "long wait excuses". Adjustment of status must be really adjustment of status - not "green cards shuffling". |
