What do people in Utah who voted for Mr. Lee think about his signature piece of legislation they passed today?
- source https://news.gab.com/2020/12/02/how-to ... -movement/“Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act, or S.386.” This hurts American workers of every race, class, location, and political affiliation.
S.386 does the following:
- eliminates the present 7 percent cap for employment-based immigrant visas.
- removes an offset that reduced the number of visas for individuals from China.
- establish transition rules for employment-based visas from fiscal year 2020 to 2022, by reserving a percentage of EB-2 and EB-3 visas for individuals not from the two countries with the largest number of recipients of such visas. EB-2 visas are used by workers with advanced degrees or exceptional ability, while EB-3 are for skilled and other workers. (The two countries with the largest recipients of such visas are India and China.)
- Of the unreserved visas, not more than 85 percent will be allotted to immigrants from any single country.
