We all know that one of the big culprit for retrogression is 7% per-country cap and count of dependent family members in the alloted 140K quota. The new proposed bill/s have provision not to counts family members and increased the pre-country cap to 10%.

STRIVE act 2007 and new White House proposal have no per-country cap for illegals when they apply for permanent resident (GC). If Family Based and Employment Based Green card have per-country limit, why not for 12 millions illegal based immigrant?
If they don't want to impose per-country limit (10%) on future illegal based GC, we should strongly ask Congress to remove it for Employment Based Immigration.

The US constitute recognize "the equal opportunity". They don't have per-country limit for student visa, H1B, illegal based immigration (proposed), why it is for Employment Based
immigration?

I am planing to meet my Senator and HR and going to discuss this matter.

If you are in NJ or NY, I can be with you.
 
It's a per-country limit, not pre.

And I think the legalization of illegals will have a per-country limit, since they apparently intend to roll them into EB3.

It looks like they are not quite agree on STRIVE at all.

And what? Tomorrow, an illegal janitor will want to apply for H1-b, since The US constitute recognize "the equal opportunity". Do you clearly understand what that phrase means?

You've completely missed the point.
1. Per country quota is applied on all kinds of immigration cases which have an annual limit. This is a fundumental idea of US immigration system. If you want to get it abandoned, you will have to go to much deeper level, than amending provisions on EB.
2. H1-b, students, visitors, etc are not immigrants and have to leave the country after their visa expires.

I agree ... it is much more feasible to get the limit increased to 10% or 12% or 15%, than it is to remove it altogether.

12 million ( estimated) are in the US work force. If you have a country limit ... do U think most of them will get GC in there life time.

They would rather live undocumented rather than applying for GC .. paying for the processing fees ( plus attorney fees) and wait till next birth to get an GC.. :)

No. But the politicians don't want to give them a green card. They'll just continue forever with the infinitely-renewable Z visa.

20 million illegals, from which 14 millions are mexicans.
If they put a country limit of 20%(140000 annually).

It will take them(14 mil/140000) 100 years to get their GC.:D
 
It will take them(14 mil/140000) 100 years to get their GC...Do the math right....(14 mil/140000) = 10 years which is what most of legals are dealing with and no one seems to care...so chilll

Both of you are not correct:

14 million / (140000 * 0.20 (%)) = 500 years ENJOY !!!!!
