Green Card Backlog Costs Economy Trillions in Gains, Report Says

A new report by the Bipartisan Policy Center reveals that the U.S. is losing trillions in economic growth due to green card backlogs. The report suggests that eliminating these backlogs could contribute $3.9 trillion to the GDP over a decade. To tackle this issue, the report proposes congressional actions, such as recapturing unused green cards, setting time limits on green card waiting, abolishing per-country restrictions, adjusting overall visa quotas, and enhancing processing resources.
