People on H1b who are worried about the recent news- what action we can take
Fellow blinders on H1b, the recent news on H4 and H1b is disturbing and if you are looking for ways to help prevent disruptions to your life, you can help by spreading awareness of HR-392 and follow the instructions in the link below.
Tldr: HR 392 is a bill that asks for fairness in green card process. The major reason for having a long wait time for gc for some countries is the per-country cap. This bill aims at removing this cap. It has co-sponsorship from 300+ congressmen. Immigration Voice made a recent amendment to the bill to pay the US government $4b for passing this bill along with any immigration bill that is already in the pipeline (DACA for example).
Immigration Voice had shared steps we (common folks) can take to help pass this bill.

Bull Shit.
That's just what you are telling yourself he is saying.
I've driven through many predominantly white mobile home parks in the US and thought they were shit holes.
But I have never once thought the white people who lived there were racially inferior.

In this entire thread you are throwing up numbers like 100x, 70x without any context, and you have the gall of questioning others when they are using facts?
Go cry in your newsfeed.
There are 140K employment based GC given every year (IIRC). No more than 6 or 7% of those will be given to people born in a specific country (this is the cap within cap). That is ~8k maximum a year.
As a result Applications from people born in India gets moved to backlog although there are tens of thousands of employment based GC spots goes unfilled every year.
