If you are unhappy about your salary, you need to let the boss know, otherwise they think you are happy about the low salary.
They set the 7% limit to prevent a dorminant group of immigrants. It's not for fairness to every country. They don't want to have a group of immigrants with the same ethnic background and it may endanger the power of the white people. Apparently it is a ridiculous rule because the mexicans are the real threat to their power. Indian and Chinese immigrants are not the real threat to their power and our number is less than 10% of mexican population in the US.
In this country it takes years to pass a bill. When they pass the bill, it might be too late already. The endless waiting of GC has killed all the creation and motivation of all these immigrants. Also many talented people have returned to their home countries. If you cheat people and seek a refugee GC, it only takes several months. If you work hard and stay honest and seek for an EB GC, it takes years. Isn't it ridiculous?
The reason for the delay of passing this kind of bills is that there is too much compromise and resistance. Too many different groups are fighting for their own benefits. The spanish group in the congress blocked all the EB GC bills because they want to get benefits for illegals. Although many congress people know a visa reacpture bill is good for this country, they just can't pass it. There are too much bull shit and too much fighting to pass any bill in this country.
