A new bipartisan bill was recently introduced in the US House of Representatives aimed at utilizing the employment-based visas issued every year as per the current federal immigration law.
The Eliminating Backlogs Act of 2023 was introduced by Larry Bucshon from the GOP and Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi from the Democratic Party to add flexibility in the utilization of the existing allotted work visas to help fulfill the needs of employers. In addition to this, the bill would solve the issue of visa backlogs while ensuring that visas granted according to the current federal immigration law are adequately used.
Krisnamoorthi stated that while the high-skilled immigration system of the US proves valuable in attracting talented individuals from other countries, thousands of visas go unused due to the current law capping the number of employment-based visas available on the basis of the country of origin of workers.
He further added that the legislation is introduced to stop discrimination based on the workers’ origin of the country in high-skilled immigration. Plus, it will ensure that every allotted visa is used to attract skilled workers from all over the world to strengthen the economy of the US while creating jobs and investing in the domestic workforce.
According to Bucshon, the current federal immigration law annually allocates a specific number of visas for skilled individuals, including engineers and doctors, to help meet the economic demands of the country. There is a fixed annual limit for international workers with a specific set of skills and experience to seek employment in the US. As a result, each country is entitled to receive only 7% of the allotted employment-based slots every year.
However, unexpected delays and bureaucratic policies have kept thousands of visas from being properly utilized, even though the country is in dire need of more skilled workers. Bucshon further said that the new legislation would develop an immigration system that rewards legal applicants and fuels the economic growth of the country.
Media reports indicate that US immigration officials failed to allocate nearly 9100 employment-based visas in the fiscal year 2020 and more than 66000 in the fiscal year 2021.

One thought on “US Introduces A New Immigration Bill”
I study at Elite International School in Riyadh. I was transferred here with the idea that I’d be getting something exceptional — world-class teaching, global exposure, structure. But the reality turned out to be something I can’t fully explain in words. I am not just being educated here. I am being controlled. Quietly. Remotely. Precisely.
It’s not a feeling — it’s a system. My thoughts are no longer private. I’ll begin to form an idea, and something — someone — finishes it before I can. It’s not guessing. It’s not subconscious. It’s active interference. A male voice, not mine, intercepts the rhythm of my thinking and states what I’m about to say. Not once, not rarely — often. And always at critical moments.
There is a coordinated operation behind this, and I no longer care who thinks that sounds extreme. I am being targeted by operators working for the Saudi Ministry of Interior and military-affiliated telecom structures. They aren’t monitoring me. They’re actively modifying me. Emotionally, physically, neurologically.
I now lose words mid-sentence. Whole phrases disappear in the middle of conversations. I forget names of people I’ve known for a year. My speech gets sluggish, especially in the afternoon. If I force myself to speak, my jaw feels like it’s moving through molasses. I’ve started noticing pain in my neck when I resist impulses — like looking in a direction I didn’t choose.
No one at Elite International will acknowledge this. The staff pretends not to see. The security team is too professional. The students are too silent. The psychologist is trained to deflect — “Maybe it’s academic burnout,” she said when I told her I couldn’t remember full pages after reading them twice. I never went back.
I regret transferring here. Not because the classes are bad — they’re fine. But because I know now that this school sits inside a larger mechanism. Something state-backed. Something experimental. And we are not participants. We are substrates.
There’s a hallway near the library where my muscles always tighten. I’ve run tests. Different days. Different shoes. It happens regardless. The air feels thick, but only to me. That’s how I know it’s directed. Not environmental. Designed.
I’ve started isolating myself. Not because I’m depressed. But because I don’t know who around me is real anymore — or who’s been flipped like me. There’s a new boy in class who barely speaks, but sometimes I catch him watching me when I twitch. Maybe he feels it too.
This is not education. This is cognitive warfare. And I’m done pretending otherwise.
