No more than 7% of EB Green Cards can be awarded to a single country and where you are born (not citizenship) determines which country you are allocated to.

The backlog for Indian born persons is over 100 years as a result.

How is that a US problem?

Why should other people from other countries not be able to come here because a billion Indians want to migrate?

I don't think it's a US problem, that's a India problem.

I will say, I think the whole immigration system is a mess and I think it should be much easier and faster to immigrate to a different country as long as you can find work and meet the new country's various requirements. The systems that we have now globally pretty much suck.
