@StephenM Well, unfortunately that's a side effect of selecting immigrants based on where they were born, and not because of their skills.
You opposed per-country caps removal, remember?
@SenMikeLee@DOGE You should recapture all the wastes greencards, and use them to clear the employment based greencard backlog.
Perhaps even price it at $10k -$20k per greencard, to help towards the deficit.
The American Dream may seem like an ideal, but it can quickly become a nightmare. You may experience many struggles along the way, so it’s important to be cautious.
#GC 150 years wait is absurd!!
#greencardbacklog@POTUS@realDonaldTrump Time to Fix @WhiteHouse@elonmusk
Your country of origin should never determine if or when you receive a green card.
This system is anti-meritocratic and fundamentally un-American.
It’s time for a fix.
The U.S. was built by immigrants, but its broken policies are now driving them away. Skilled workers don’t have to wait anymore—they’re leaving, building the future elsewhere. Reform or decline: America has a choice, but time is running out.

The dark secret of U.S.-India immigration policy? Both sides benefit from keeping skilled immigrants in limbo. The U.S. exploits them as indentured tech workers. India welcomes them back as innovators. Trump and Modi won’t discuss this—but I did

Hey @DOGE@elonmusk what is going on? There are more critical issues impacting human lives that you promised to fix but Plastic Straws are preferred over them?
You say you support legal immigration? Well, US has a messed up immigration system that is making life hell for 1.8 million legal High-skilled immigrant families.
These are tax paying,law abiding people who are forced to wait for decades in the torturous backlog. Torturous because they have kids who fear self deportation due to aging out.
Would you walk the talk & sign an EO to clear this backlog?
@POTUS@VP@realDonaldTrump
@elonmusk To be clear, he had 4 years as the chair of judiciary and he did not. Now he "calls" for the release?
This is Durbin's MO for immigration as well.
When in power, do nothing.
When not in power, cry crocodile tears.
In my new op-ed for @CityJournal I argue that we must end DEI in immigration.
In the war for merit and against "diversity, equity, and inclusion" the immigration system is the ultimate battle.

@immivoice Per country cap in the EB visa category is not helping American innovation and hurting amerivan workers by exploiting h1b workers. End per country cap from EB gc allocation and make the system more merit based than DEI.
It is absolutely necessary to create a system that treats people equally under the law instead of discriminating and giving preferential treatment based on immutable characteristics like country of birth.
The fine print they don't tell Indians while giving US Student F1 visa that costs $100k:
- Your best years? We'll take those
- Your SS taxes? We'll keep those
- Your Medicare payments? Thanks
- Your US-born kids? Must leave
- Your retirement? Not our problem
- Your green card? Maybe in 100 years
The per country cap in the Employemng Based Green card allocation is DEI and removing the per country cap makes the system merit based and help american innovation .. #DEI@realDonaldTrump@elonmusk
