High Demand for Skilled-Worker Visas Triggers Lottery
High Demand for Skilled-Worker Visas Triggers Lottery
This is a bloomberg article on the H-1B immigration problem in the US.

The comments are eerily similar to the local forums no? Just thought that it would be interesting to see how Congress deals with this. Any bets on Congress increasing the quota?

1)The American one has healthy debate with good number of people for and against
2)The quality of argument and language is much better and not just blind vulgar venom spewing like in local forums

Do you honestly think so? Unless Obummer sneaks it in via the back door like so much other BS he's done through the back door. In the right way? Doubtful it would pass.
