Immigration update
As the Senate resumes debate on the immigration bill, keep an eye on two amendments, according to a story in today's New York Times (High-Tech Titans Strike Out on Immigration Bill). A Kyl-Cantwell amendment would increase the number of green cards for "immigrants of extraordinary ability, outstanding professors and researchers and certain managers and executives of multinational corporations." The tech companies have been pushing this. The other is a Durbin-Grassley proposal that gives priority to American workers over H-1-B visas and specifies the wages that must be paid to workers who have H-1B visas. Needless to say, the tech companies oppose this.
