In 2012, 56 percent of all supposed employment-based green cards went to the family members of workers. Some of those family members are workers, but they should be exempted from the employment green card quota of approximately 140,000 a year. If family members were exempted from the quota, an additional 81,245 highly skilled immigrant workers could have entered in 2012.
