[News] Microsoft Imports Employees

Rush for H-1B visas under way

,----[ Quote ]
| "Without an increase in the number of H-1B visa and green cards issued
| each year, our nation loses the opportunity to benefit from the
| contributions of highly educated and skilled workers from around
| the world," Jack Krumholz, Microsoft's top lobbyist, said at the
| time. "American businesses and society in general will be worse
| off due to Congress' lack of action on this issue."
| 
| [...]
| 
| In April 2005, and again last month, Gates said that any H-1B
| limits should be completely eliminated. Groups like the
| Information Technology Industry Council, whose member companies
| include Apple, Dell, Cisco Systems, IBM, Intel and Microsoft,
| have called for substantially higher limits.
