For the kinds of jobs being moved, their merit-based points system grants permanent residency immediately and citizenship in 3 years. In the US, if you are from India, you can find yourself waiting for up to 20 years of indentured labor to get your green card.

Yeah, getting through a merit-based point system being the key. Perhaps US should adopt an immigration-on-merit system?
