The current limit is 675,000 green cards for immigrants. That is not per year. That is total allocated. So if there were 500,000 green card holders already in the US and eligible to stay in the US for 2025, then there are only 175,000 slots available for new immigrants.
This year there were 125,000 refugee slots available this year. Trump has promised to reduce that number when he is in office.
Asylum seekers are not allowed to work without a green card.
You really need to stop going to social media for your "knowledge".

In 1990,
another immigration act was passed that increased the total number of visas available to 675,000 per year – 480,000 for family-reunification visas and 140,000 for employment visas. It also created and allotted 55,000 total visas to the
diversity visa program, which makes a limited number of green cards available to perspective immigrants from nations that have seen less than 50,000 emigrants to the United States in the past five years. Originally, this was a means to promote Western European migration, as they were the group with least immigrants, but has become more equitable over time. Immediate relatives –
spouses, parents, and children under 21 – of U.S. citizens were placed completely outside the cap and remain there today. There is no visa cap for them to immigrate to the U.S.
At the turn of the millennium, several immigration reforms were passed in rapid succession. In 2000, the
American Competitiveness in the Twenty-First Century Act was passed, which temporarily raised the annual H-1B visa cap and permanently exempted universities and nonprofit research institutions from the H-1B cap. Next passed was the
H-1B Visa Reform Act of 2004, which provided 20,000 additional H-1B visas to high-skilled temporary workers with advanced degrees from American Universities.
No substantive reform has been made to the immigration system since the early 1990s. As no updates were made to the green card cap in the immigration acts of the early 2000s, the United States still currently operates under the cap prescribed in 1990 –
675,000. This number has been left intact since 1990 – over 30 years – and has not been updated to reflect today’s immigration needs.
