Reply #34: H-1Cs limited to 500 for the whole country/year

There are single hospitals in this country that have that many nurses. It was a program largely designed to help a single hospital in Chicago when it was created.

The problem with COngress setting quotas for different professions is that they only get around to legislating once or twice a decade. That may mean that they allocate too many visas or too few visas depending on which way the economy goes. Better to have actual economic data controlling the numbers, not politicians who have been lobbied one way or the other and who usually respond two or three years too late to solve a problem.
