prevent the monopolization of visas by applicants from a single country. This is similar
to antitrust regulations that protect the interests of small businesses and consumers.
This bill is a repudiation of this principle. What provisions will be added to prevent
monopolization of immigration in the future?
6. It was mentioned in the House that companies need to wait long to hire graduates from
countries with a high population, however the temporary worker program, commonly
known as the H1B program, was implemented to overcome that limitation and has been
highly successful in recruiting graduates/skilled professionals from any country, a major
portion of these visas are granted to applicants from India and China.
7. This bill is one that makes fundamental changes to current immigration queues, yet it
takes effect immediately upon passage. USCIS is not given any time to study the impact
of the bill, nor time to draft and implement new guidance and regulations for immigration
adjudicators. Such immediate implementation without time to put into place the detailed
regulations necessary to ensure a smooth transition will likely lead to chaos for some
time to come.
8. Lastly, how will this bill deal with people who already started their immigration petition
before this law will be implemented?
In full disclosure, we all do have a dog in this fight but, all we are asking is to do the "right thing"
for all US Citizens, potential Immigrants & America's businesses, as only united we can make
America even more competitive & continue to be the world leader.

On a closing note, we would like to again state that we are not against this bill in principle, but
are requesting a detailed study and debate before it is implemented. As the butterfly effect
theory states that small changes can result in a big impact. Let's make sure that this small
change doesn't make a big negative impact by duly debating and studying the change.
