Congressman Matt Cartwright of Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District is lending his support to the initiative spearheaded by Indian American organizations, such as the Foundation for India and Indian Diaspora (FIIDS), to eliminate the seven percent per country quota for Green Card allocations. According to Cartwright, the United States greatly benefits from the influx of highly skilled professionals from India, and it’s imperative to facilitate their immigration to fill crucial roles in the nation’s workforce.

In an interview with PTI, Congressman Cartwright emphasized the importance of welcoming individuals from diverse backgrounds to contribute to the country’s economy and intellectual capital. He pointed out that the current quota system disproportionately affects countries like India, which boasts a significant pool of highly educated individuals. Cartwright stressed that limiting immigration based on arbitrary quotas impedes the United States from harnessing the talent and expertise of those eager to contribute to its growth and innovation.
