Tech Industry Welcomes New Immigration Bill
- Reuters, Wednesday, April 17, 2013 11:43 AM
The Senate unveiled a new immigration bill on Tuesday, which is backed by President Barack Obama, and would nearly double the quota for H-1B visas for skilled workers. As Reuters reports, tech
industry officials welcomed the bill, “while laying the groundwork to renegotiate portions they oppose.” Of note, the bill does not propose raising the number of H-1B visas to the
industry’s stated goal of 300,000.
