Immigration policy in the US seems to be pretty weird. 67% of the immigration is family based, which doesn’t bring much value to the country. Only 13.5% of the immigration is employment based. There’s this country cap due to which high skilled indians wait forever for a green card, while low skilled workers from other countries get green card easily. The h1b selection process is random which is dominated by Indian body shops. Will there ever be a merit based immigration system ?
Happy employees are better employees. Also once you bring the family over you reduce the likelihood of them taking their wealth and knowledge back to the home country. This is a net positive.
Better luck finding DB Cooper than merit based immigration
What merit are you talking about - genuine good people? No, merit is just code for “middle class”.
I think we could really just use Canada or Australia’s score system
I think ppl should immigrate to Canada to Australia if their system is fair.
As soon as OP becomes a citizen he will favor family based immigration and hog the pipeline with all his family members.
Yeah ok.
How old are you now, Buk lao?
There is merit-based immigration — EB-1A and EB-1B.
Why not just immigrate to a country which has a fair immigration system?
Nope.
lol , how much time do you have. It's decided by politicians... It's not supposed to be logical
Hating the system is counterproductive. It also increases stress and burns your overall health.

Is "From the River to the Sea" So Wrong?
Indians are high skilled and other workers are low skilled? Really. Really?
I didn’t say that. I said Indian high skilled workers are waiting forever, while low skilled immigrants from other countries are getting green cards much faster. (There are high skilled immigrants from other countries as well)
Read it slowly and understand.
