Other countries. as I have noted just a few moments ago. are going in exactly the opposite direction. They are focusing less on some sort of connections and more on work skills. Then I will offer an amendment that deals with green cards for future flow H2C workers. This would be an amendment to make sure that H2C workers who come in the futurenot those given amnesty under this billwill be subject to the annual numerical limits on employmentbased green cards when they apply. There is some dispute about that. We were told originally: Oh. yes. they apply. the caps apply. these limits apply. And then we read the legislation carefully. and under that provision. it says: If you qualify for a green card. the Secretary shall give you the green card. And it appears that "shall" means you will get it whether the caps apply or not. or whether the caps would apply. I shared earlier thoughts about the large numbers and the CBO numbers in that amendment.
