What Sen. Mike Lee is attempting to do is good thing: bringing an end to the very low per-country caps on employment green cards.
Current law limits immigrants from any given country from comprising more than 7 percent of the total number of visas allowed. So, those from countries with large populations end up waiting longer periods of time than those from smaller countries.
I don't know that Sen. Lee seeks to totally end the cap system. That would be good. But, I read how the cap for family-sponsored green cards would raise to 15 percent. That's giving justice at least a little more leeway.
When something is unfair, it should be changed. Laws that make you wait longer just because you are from Mexico instead of Siam are not fair.
