| Bill H.R.5921 introduced to eliminate per country visa limits |
|
ginetto is right on the money. the per country cap is not a discriminatory provision of law against countries with high numbers of applicants in both the employment-based and family-based categories like india, china, mexico and previously the philippines (before the rapid movement in its PD), but it protects nationals from countries with less applicants from being drowned out by the competition. the reason the PDs of countries like china, india and mexico have such retrogressed PDs is precisely because such countries have had so much successful approved applications in the past. this provision serves as a check in the country's pattern of immigration from being monopolized by nationals with sheer populations, hence proportionally large applications for US immigration. it is a sort of floodgate against a deluge from immigrants coming from one or two or three countries at the detriment of others.
in other words, the cap helps ensure that diversity is assured with opportunities available for everybody else. |
