Is it? This program Trump is getting rid of didn’t exist before 2015, yet Silicon Valley and Facebook were a thing.

The program was not a thing only because long wait times for a green card was not a thing. A lot of companies have a lot of Indians compared to elsewhere. But, majority of them is probably factually wrong.

The long wait time for a green card for Indian and Chinese people existed long before 2015.

It did not long exist. It only started since 2009.
