Now legal immigrants fluster US politicians

Carolyn Hileman* | April 28, 2007

America’s leading high technocrats are putting heavy pressure on Washington to allow up to 180,000 foreign information technology workers into the country over the coming years.While the politicians grapple with what to do with an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants, they are being asked to increase the number of legal temporary workers, who can come to the US on six-year H1-B visas.

Those workers are supposed to be highly educated, highly-skilled workers; the world’s “best and brightest” who will fill jobs that American IT workers can’t … either because there aren’t enough of them or they don’t have the latest skills.
