Consequences of the
National Origins Act
The goal of the National Origins Act was to control
both the quantity and quality of U.S. immigrants in an
effort to prevent further erosion of the ethnic composi-
tion of U.S. society. The law accomplished this goal
using three mechanisms: capping the overall number of
immigrants allowed into the United States in a given
month and year; favoring immigrants from certain
countries; and screening out otherwise qualified immi-
grants as unsuitable to the United States during the visa
screening process. The sorting mechanism heavily
favored northern and western European countries. The
temporary formula of 2% of the foreign-born of each
nationality in the 1890 census gave 85% of the quotas
to northern and western European nations. The national
origins system fully implemented in 1929 continued
the trend of both overall restriction and nation bias.
Indeed, the act virtually halted all immigration from
southern and eastern Europe. Thus, European immigra-
tion dropped from more than 800,000 in 1921 to less
than 150,000 by the end of the decade.
In addition to controlling the volume of immigra-
tion from Europe, the National Origins Act also
allowed a mechanism for selection of immigrants as
well. In its creation of consular offices abroad, the act
provided a frontline screening mechanism for select-
ing out those deemed unsuitable for the United States.

Gratz v. Bollinger

PART ONE
This is an old topic but I thought I would post some interesting info that I found. Give me green before someone drowns me in red.
Equal Protection Clause - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_protection)
The Supreme Court has defined these levels of scrutiny in the following way:
Strict scrutiny (if the law categorizes on the basis of race or national origin or infringes a fundamental right): the law is unconstitutional unless it is "narrowly tailored" to serve a "compelling" government interest. In addition, there cannot be a "less restrictive" alternative available to achieve that compelling interest.
In Bakke, the Court held that racial quotas are unconstitutional, but that educational institutions could legally use race as one of many factors to consider in their admissions process. In Grutter and Gratz, the Court upheld both Bakke as a precedent and the admissions policy of the University of Michigan law school. In dicta, however, Justice O'Connor, writing for the Court, said she expected that in 25 years, racial preferences would no longer be necessary. In Gratz, the Court invalidated Michigan's undergraduate admissions policy, on the grounds that unlike the law school's policy, which treated race not as one of many factors in an admissions process that looked to the individual applicant, the undergraduate policy used a point system that was excessively mechanistic.
In these affirmative action cases, the Supreme Court has employed, or has said it employed, strict scrutiny, since the affirmative action policies challenged by the plaintiffs categorized by race. The policy in Grutter, and a Harvard College admissions policy praised by Justice Powell's opinion in Bakke, passed muster because the Court deemed that they were narrowly tailored to achieve a compelling interest in diversity. On the other side, it is argued that the purpose of the Equal Protection Clause is to prevent the socio-political subordination of some groups by others, not to prevent classification; since this is so, non-invidious classifications, such as those used by affirmative action programs, should not be subjected to heightened scrutiny.[30]

The 1921 Emergency Quota Act restricted immigration to 3% of foreign-born persons of each nationality resident in the United States in 1910.
The Immigration Act of 1924 provided that for three years immigration will be restricted to 2% based on the census of 1890, and that after June 30, 1927, total immigration from all countries will be limited to 150,000 based upon national origins of white inhabitants as shown by the census of 1920.

Normally vendors dont like going against the client. Especially after you have billed for them for a year already. Unofficially they let you go after 1 yr i.e. the vendor. Try to talk to your client and see if they are willing to apply pressure on the vendor to let you go. Also talk to your vendor and explain to him why you want to join client i.e. career growth, etc and tell your vendor that you can help him/her recruit more folks to fill in your position and stuff. Basically you will have to do some brown nosing with the vendor for the time being.
If nothing else works, ask the vendor what would it take to make this work i.e. money wise and stuff if you are willing to pony up some dough to make this happen.
Hi, I am currently on a Company A's payroll and working at a client's place (Company B); now that Company B wants me to join them; however, there is a contract between Companies A & B not to hire the employee directly; what should be done in this case? I also have a contractual obligation to my employer not to join the client for 12 months. My employer(Company A) is not willing to let me go (though I worked for a year already). Any advise from the forum?
Thanks

Simple e.g. I like Target as a store. That doesn't mean I give Target money and let them give me whatever they want for that money. I want to know before hand what my money is getting me.
very true when you are talking about a person who walks into a store. But you are asking for Target's strategic plans, how many stores it will open in the next quarter, what is their marketing plan in regards to Walmart (their main competitor).
Are there any immigration bills that IV supports? What are they? What is IV going to do to get them through? What does IV expect from the lobbyist?
I take it you did not go through the action alerts page...Here is a link
http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=69
Other than the FOIA thing, is there anything else IV is collecting money for? I don't want to see IVs tax statements. I just want a quarterly report of what IV did with the money it collected and what IV will do with the money it collects in the future. A simple 5 line explanation is enough. It has to be something concrete though. "IV will improve the EB immigration process" is not enough. E.g. "IV will contact all senators in support of XYZ". "IV will make sure there is constant media attention to our problem" etc.
Two different things here: a. Action items b. Lobbying
I would agree as to what items are in the horizon in terms of action items is something more often than not can be given out.
Lobbying...check out the landscape....go visit numbers usa website, capsweb or similar websites...come back and tell us if "IV will contact all senators in support of XYZ" is a good idea.
very true when you are talking about a person who walks into a store. But you are asking for Target's strategic plans, how many stores it will open in the next quarter, what is their marketing plan in regards to Walmart (their main competitor).
Are there any immigration bills that IV supports? What are they? What is IV going to do to get them through? What does IV expect from the lobbyist?
I take it you did not go through the action alerts page...Here is a link
http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=69
Other than the FOIA thing, is there anything else IV is collecting money for? I don't want to see IVs tax statements. I just want a quarterly report of what IV did with the money it collected and what IV will do with the money it collects in the future. A simple 5 line explanation is enough. It has to be something concrete though. "IV will improve the EB immigration process" is not enough. E.g. "IV will contact all senators in support of XYZ". "IV will make sure there is constant media attention to our problem" etc.
Two different things here: a. Action items b. Lobbying

Why not file on your own??? they charge a ton ... heck you could buy an iphone with service for a year with what they charge ....the quote they gave me was :
EAD application - total: $722
$350 legal fee
$340 USCIS filing fee
$32 admin/misc fee**
AP application - total: $837
$500 legal fee
$305 USCIS filing fee
$32 admin/misc fee**
**If all applications are processed at the same time, the admin/misc fee will be slightly reduced.
Anyone else having problem or I am the only one?

Here I will summarize why we are unable to work with each another
By this and a later post MC is showing openly brazen attitude toward EB3 applicants. Such posts should be first of all, banned from IV and I am going to report all such posts.
You wouldn't show this :( expression if it were YOUR hibernating application. Also see if Mr. Nathan's comment below would apply to you
This is the brazen post I was talking about earlier. Even MC himself acknowledges that this post is "unhelpful", and he is deliberately doing this. This gives a negative impression of how serious this person is. I would urge him to buck up and learn to work with everyone, and quit watching "balance" from his sole viewpoint
This is an "us vs them" argument. Not upto the standard desirable from IV point of view
Understand the realities here: IV is struggling to make even the most legitimate views heard and you are sitting and talking away as if USCIS and lawmakers are your servant. Go for the ONE thing to wish for that will solve all troubles, because you have only one chance.
Good dialogue. Ironic how it applies to so many posts here arguing in the opposite direction
"all the EB3s are against spillover and making comments that it's not happening this year. It feels like EB3s do not want EB2s to get GCs."
are you yourself convinced of this? I highly doubt.
You make no sense man. I am not against EB3. I just said what I think, and I can be wrong too. If you dont like this just ignore or give your view on how it justified to change the line in the middle of the game.

I think they might not have realized that you are stuck in BEC. Welcome back, I am sure you will be able to file your 485 soon.
Just fyi, there are a lot of people who are also stuck in BEC but I think IV core might object to the attitude that they are cutting in front of you. Please realize that while they will be filing their 485 before you, they will NOT be getting their GCs before you.
Also there are lots of people who due to circumstances have been here since mid nineties but have a priority date of 2006. Do you really think that people like these getting an EAD are cutting the queue?
Hi all, this is the new ID of bigtime007. As many has noticed, I was banned for the following reason:
You have been banned for the following reason:
Disruptive posts
Date the ban will be lifted: Never
After thinking about it, I feel very very sorry for disrupting the cheerful atmosphere on this forum. It is time for champagne, not complaints. This should be a place to congratulate and applaud IV's achievements, instead of that to express one's own frustrations. People with 07 PD has the privilege to cheer when they cut in front of us, but we should not feel sad for being pushed back because it is a disruptive behavior.
Please do not list what you have done to add items in the legislation to help BEC victims, it does not look genuine any more when it is considered disruptive to express one's depression on a board specially for BEC victims.
This will be my last post, as I am sure they will ban both my ID and IP. For everyone who still reads my post, Good luck!

Hi
All who are on H4 visa ,is there a way out that we all can write an email or letter to the USCIS or the law changing authority to change the H4 law and get right to work ,I mean one nicely drafted mail or Letter with all the problems highlighted and the disadvantages which the spouse and the H4 are facing .I am mentioning some points which we can write
1.H4 cannot work any where in the USA,not even for an hour
2.Green card is years away.
3.Just be at home and keep on asking money from your spouse for everything you need.
4.With the 65000 quote every one on H4 cannot get an H1.
5.Every one on H4 is not necessary a computer professional or having a 4 year degree possible 3 year or may be less so they cannot qualify for an H1.
thanks
Thats right, eventually when the H1B emploee gets Employement Authorization through GC process, the H4 spouse automatically becomes eligble to work and have better opportunities than any H1B holder. Why can't a H4 have a work authorization same as J2 or L2 or E2. Does ImmigrationVoice considered this thought and thinks as a good point to raise it to the senate in one of their efforts?

This might work !! We should have state chapters collect a minimum amt of $50 or so and register people who agree to attend the rally. Then upon showing up on the rally day they will be reimbursed the fee...!
---- $50 is dear to everyone!!
