Brittany Lee Fischer is a paid operative for Bloomberg’s lobbying org, New American Economy. She even cites them as a source for some of the data she shares.

She obviously has no clue how our immigration system works as we can see from this paragraph where she reiterates this lie spread by @RepZoeLofgren’s office that the employment GC backlog for Indian nationals exists because unused GCs by smaller countries go to waste. #FALSE 
In fact, the immigration system works exactly to the contrary of the lie: when smaller populated countries like Iceland do not use up all their 7% quota for GCs, those unused GCs get “spilled over” to backlogged countries. How else did India exceed its 7% cap for FY2013-‘17?
Assuming this was even an issue of Green Cards going unused by smaller populated countries & not being used to clear backlogs for larger populated countries like India, wouldn’t the bill just address that & state “please don’t let unused GCs go to waste”?
Instead, the Eagle Act bill is asking for the total elimination of country caps — the very thing that has acted as a buffer to protect smaller countries by not allowing larger countries from monopolizing the finite amount of employment-based GCs available each fiscal year.
