With per-country caps Indians take 23% of EB-GCs (Thanks to spillover) and other nationals take 7% or less.
Without per-country caps Indians will get 100% and other nationals get ZERO!
#EagleActIsNotFair
Since many of you asked, here are the % shares of the top 50 countries.
Again the assertion that caps allow small countries get the same allocation as large countries is patently false.
The 7% cap did not cause the backlog. Due to spillovers, larger countries get a larger share in practice.
“[Due to 7% caps,] countries with relatively small populations are allocated the same number of visas as a relatively large-population country.” — Rep Lofgren on #EagleAct
How does EAGLE Act solve the EB green card backlog when it only removes per-country caps and adds no new GCs?
Huh 🤔it doesn’t. Actually, makes it worse!
As we've said all along.

Immigration Voice has devolved -- at first, they claimed they had no idea ZERO SUM would hurt anybody.
Now, hurting the rest of the world is the point. That others must suffer is more important than delivering green cards to the backlog.

@Chrislond@supallofus We have very good sources; those are just the ones we reveal.
There are REASONS Immigration Voice is losing support.

ZERO SUM threatens American higher education.
Nearly 90% of foreign students will “consider applying to graduate school or postdoc in a country that has a clear path for me to stay and work....”

@kkrun @DrCardio4 @Ynotgreencards @AkvanTheDeev @SriGaussian @ShadesOfBlueAn1@Chrislond @maz_mhd7 @tony_prophet@supallofus 1) US Tech workers who were discriminated against applying for these American jobs.
2) High skilled ROW immigrants who are discriminated against since Bigtech and bodyshops routinely favor Indians
3) "People already here" is an @immivoice strawman: Equality isn't conditional
The ZERO SUM per country bill has failed, AGAIN. The All of Us strategy-developed by Bruce Morrison, the author of last green card increase-proves when the problem is NOT ENOUGH, the answer is MORE. Looking forward 2 solving the backlog in next Congress.

@DickDurbin Dear senator Durbin. My wife and I are both PhD. Students in STEM and we have had a long plan for our future in this great country. Hr1044 is going to ruin everything for us. Please be our voice and #StopHR1044 Thank you.
The H-1B visa program:
Advertise IT jobs only to Indian nationals on H-1B visas
Lease those H-1B workers to a “Global Big5 firm”
Profit off the labor arbitrage because an Indian visa worker will eagerly work for under market wages in exchange for immigration benefits.
