It is their interest they are concerned about and not the national interest. which is to make sure the persons who come are honest. hardworking. decent people with skills and capabilities to be successful in America. So how did all this work out in reality? Not only are the current chain migration numbers maintainedthe 140.000 was eliminated. so to speak. but it will be applied during the 8year period after the bill to provide more green cards. increase the numbers of green cards for family migration. most of which are for chain migration persons who are waiting to get green cards as a result of their applications over a period of time. So if a brother applies to come to the United States with a wife and child. because they have a brother here who is a citizen. they apply and they are put on a list. This is nonskillbased immigration. It is purely based on kinship. Those numbers have been set aside to allow the people who are backlogged to clear. and it is going to take 8 years. they estimate 8 years.
