Analysis of current data shows that more than one million Indians now sit in employment-based immigration backlogs. Many of these are highly skilled professionals who face potentially decades-long waits to gain permanent residence (a green card) due to a per-country limit and the low annual quota. While they wait they are often unable to change jobs, or take any action against abusive employers for fear they will be deported and thereby separated from friends and family in [Imperial America]. This is obviously bad for the workers and their families and, like much of the current immigration mess, it's bad for the U.S. economy.
