Just my 2 cents...

If things were in my control, I would disqualify this bill because it poses an unfair disadvantage to people not from China or India, people who have already applied. One may argue that Indians and Chinese have been waiting in line for what seems like ever, but what about the people who have been waiting patiently in line for 3 years to get their green card only to find out that it's going to take them an additional 4 years. And they don't have the option to get their H1b renewed again. How fair is it to that person? Besides, remember that a lot of Indians do go through Indian consultancies, so I have no sympathy for them. Yes, there are legits, but sorry rep has been tarnished already.  I think the retroactive comment is a good one, the people who have already applied need to be grandfathered into the old policy, a law isn't fair if it poses an undue advantage to another party.

2 departments within the same company don't share cost centers even when one of them has a deficient budget.

I also don't think that this is discrimination based on nationality, I think that it's based on the size of the country and population of people who have already migrated to the US. A good example of discrimination based on nationality or race is the Arizona immigration law where the cops can ID you based on the color of your skin. Also, just because lots of neps are filing for asylum or have migrated to the US based on DV is a faulty argument to make, why should students who have done it the "right" way all along have to suffer because of them AND if you use this argument, I can easily say, well what about the people who have migrated from CHN and IND ages ago, count the generations and I wouldn't be surprised if you found 4 generations of CHN. The US never occupied CHN or IND. I have yet to find a 3rd generation nep here in the US.

But I have to remind myself, this is hardly my country and even if it were, I would hardly have a say. Suck it up.
