The video discusses the introduction of new legislation aimed at amending the Immigration and Nationality Act to eliminate country-specific numerical limitations for employment-based immigrants. This bipartisan bill was introduced in the Senate by Senators Cramer, Hickenlooper, and Collins, and in the House by Representatives M KMI, Jaal Prila, and Krishnamurti as HR 6542. The bill seeks to address the disproportionate impact on countries like India and China due to the current 7% cap on green card allocations. However, there is skepticism about the bill's progress due to partisan divides, especially given Republican resistance to immigration measures during a Democratic administration. The video also highlights the challenges faced by highly skilled professionals in fields like medicine and technology who are forced to leave the U.S. due to difficulties in obtaining permanent residency, often relocating to more immigration-friendly countries like Canada. Moreover, it touches on a legislative proposal introduced on December 1st that aims to balance employment-based and family-based immigration numbers. The legislative journey includes passing through various stages in the House and Senate, and eventually needing presidential approval. The video briefly mentions job placement and visa sponsorship services provided by an experienced global company in the IT sector.

Senator Cramer, Hickinlooper, and Collins introduced this bill in the Senate, while Representatives M KMI, Jaal Prila, and Krishnamurti introduced it in the House as HR 6542. The speaker explains that although this bill aims to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to eliminate country-specific numerical limitations for employment-based immigrants, past similar bills have not progressed due to partisanship and party-line voting. The speaker is not particularly optimistic about the bill’s chances, as Republicans are generally not supportive of immigration measures, especially during a Democratic government. The current limitations mean countries like India and China are disproportionately affected as they only get 7% of the total green card numbers annually.
