01/12/2011: Full Text of Rep. Issa's Bill, H.R. 43, to Terminate Immigration
Lottery and Use its 55,000 Visa Numbers for New EB-2 Category for U.S. Adva
nce Degree Holders in Sciences and Medicine
This is not the first time that a bill has been introduced in the Congress t
o terminate immigration lottery program, but repeatedly defeated in the Cong
ress. As readers may appreciate it from reading of the full text of this bil
l, the scope of this bill is somewhat narrow and only limited number of U.S.
advance degree holders in sciences and medicine can be qualified. It does n
ot even cover all the STEM specialties. I suppose that in the current econom
y and unemployment environment, the sponsor's justification of this bill may
come from the argument that this bill does not add to the annual immigrant
quota, but it will have to deal with two issues. Firstly, the legislative in
tent of the immigration lottery program lies with the concept that most of i
mmigrants are coming only from a handful of countries that deprive other nat
ionalities of opportunity to immigrate to this country, and such ethnic imba
lance can be mitigated through a program that allows 55,000 people from coun
tries other than those countries, particularly Irish. For the reasons, secon
dly, this type of bill should deal with large number of countries other than
the limited number of countries that more or less take up most of the immig
rant visa quotas. It ain't going to be an easy task.
When it comes to its justification that the bill would not add additional qu
ota numbers, there has been another bill that proposed to recapture unused v
isa quota numbers. This concept also does not add to the annual numerical li
mit which is provided in the current immigration statute. Besides, this prop
osal touches a broad base of employment-based immigrant groups, not to menti
on all the STEM, non-STEM, EB-2 and EB-3. The Issa bill should fight off the
se groups of immigrant communities and their employers. What about the CIR a
dvocates? Hmm... We will just spare the words. However, this bill is a good
start to address immigration issues in the new 112th Congress. We'll see how
the fight will unfold. | f*******y

这句话就确定EB1了？ 这个要看移民局怎么定义了。在公司里做产品开发的，和在大学
做科研的，哪个对经济贡献更大还真不好说呢。就算这个是EB1吧，EB1现在消耗14万移
民配额中的大概四万名额。就算能省下来两万，也是很好的事情。 | Q*K
