持John Cornyn也对中国人有利: 废除抽奖绿卡，将55,000名额转给STEM
05/16/2012: Republican Senator John Cornyn of Texas Introduced a Bill in the
Senate Yesterday to Eliminate 55,000 Diversity Visa Replaced by STEM
Foreign Workers
Yesterday a senior Republican Senator introduced a legislative bill, S. 3835
STAR Act of 2012 ("Securing the Talent America Requires for the 21st
Century Act of 2012"), proposing to eliminate the current immigration
lottery visa system of annual 55,000 immigrant visas and to use these 55,000
immigrant visas to STEM foreign talents as follows:
Allocating 55,000 new immigrant visas for eligible STEM graduates (Master’s
and Ph.D.) of qualifying U.S. research institutions who have job offers in
related fields;
Offsetting this new allocation of visas by eliminating the so-called “
Diversity Visa” lottery program, which is no longer in America’s national
interest; and
Streamlining STEM graduate students’ ability to obtain green cards and
remain in the United States by allowing “dual-intent” for those admitted
to pursue a STEM degree.
Even though a media response to potential chance for passage of this bill is
labelled "dubious" in election year, it is considered a step forward from
the employment-based immigration perspectives and another offense to the
Obama Administration's failure to act on immigration reform.
