Came across this article while researching. Recapturing all the wasted green card numbers seem common sense and just a simple administrative fix. https://www.cato.org/blog/congress-can-recapture-45-million-unused-green-cards it seems the law makers just lack the will to act. if they recapture, it seems it will end all backlog immidiately. they should still remove the country cap to end descrimination. #s386 #backlog expert thoughts?
Country cap is necessary to keep diversity, otherwise, the US will turn into mini China & India.
Mexicans?? They've the same wait time or more!
Mexican’s are growing in numbers too! You really need to maintain diversity, and be fair, if someone comes from a country with 2M people, they should not be grouped with someone from a country with 1.5B people. Those caps are there for a reason.
I see a lot of Indians coming here and spewing virulently anti American and anti European things. Every time I see some asshole spouting off about natives and British I just think, "fuck you, imma write my Congress critters and tell 'em to deep 6 s386".
Like seriously, they discriminate against other people, even in interviews, Indians want to hire Indians, and Chinese want to hire Chinese, like wtf! I’m happy there is a cap on GC’s, per country
Iwi, do you actually write to Senator or just talk cheap on blind? Please take action. S386 is constantly being pushed and maybe a reality soon.
Keep the cap and keep America great. People have been flowing into the US for centuries with no immigration reform and people will still come even with a lesser cap. American schools are still the world’s best and enrollment of foreigners have not dwindled a bit. It’s a great vehicle to slave drive immigrants and compensate for other people’s slack. There is no incentive for my country to change on this issue and I would never vote for anybody pushing for immigration reform for future threats that would never happen.
Bro, let it go, life’s not fair, that’s a hard fact. Enjoy things to the extent you can, there are things that you can control and things you can’t. Accept reality and do the best you can with the things you can control.
There can't be a discrimination in something that applies the same rules to everyone. Edit: OP, this attempt at a circlejerk post didn't go too well, did it
Employment decisions based on country of origin is discrimination.
The thread got derailed with hate and bias toward Indian and Chinese, sadly. My intention was to get into a healthy discussion and get thoughts specifically on recapture. I guess mentioning S386 was a mistake. Negativity scared away everyone except a few.
If it wasn’t for blind, I would have never known how much bias some Americans have against others. It’s never fair to paint everything and everybody with the same brush.
Oh this is part of the opposing iranian disinformation campaign (to be clear - not every iraian opposes): https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2018/08/14/iranians-are-posing-as-maga-loving-twitter-trolls-online/amp/ They are creating lots of fake accounts and are duping everyone.
There's an even better fix: The root cause is low quality consultants. While they mostly came from India nothing is stopping another country from doing the same abuse. The fix is simple: raise the standards to what they should have been and send the low quality garbage packing.
I know we have been Only talking about consultant companies. We should also talk about these folks from RoW who get GC with 16k and unskilled job. For context 25k is poverty level wage for a family of 4. How did this abuse was let go happen? How did they get perm (which is the first step in prevailing wages) abused. Should we now pin all the unskilled abuse on RoW just like you just did everything on India? Abuse is everyone's problem. Amzn: do you support raise act?
They come in through the farm workers program, which is a different category. Do you want to work on a farm? If we reform the system I'm happy to eliminate those visas but that's a totally different thing and conflating it is dumb.
Most of the consultants come to US as multinational manager and get green card in less than a year. If you stop this behavior it will be good for the overall backlog.
^this is a major problem. Bunch of these guys manage new gards and call themselves managers. All they do is running around updating an Excel sheet.
May be you should start learning and updating yourself so you can do a better job than imported immigrants are hired to do. If companies find local talent, they won’t need to hire from somewhere else. Hiring is tough, hiring from another country is even tougher.
Country caps are necessary for our culture
What culture exactly? Are you Native American?
It makes sense only if @cbEV72 is Native American. Else, everyone is an immigrant.
