Everyone is forgetting that te administration has some leeway with green cards too. Every year where the number of applicants for green cards doesn't match the limit then they basically give all those applicants their cards and the rest of the available green cards are basically disregarded and forgotten. The administration is looking at "recapturing" unused green cards from previous years and issuing them to people who need them.

Plus, we're not even giving out green cards to investors. By law the department of labor and the United States citizenship and immigration services has to work out a deal in order to issue them. But since this never happens it's basically a free category that never really issues green cards
