More H-1B Pressure in D.C.

The pressure on Congress to fix the H-1B fiasco continues to mount, as indicated in this editorial from the Washington Post.

H-1B visas are reserved for the world's best and brightest, and barring their entry is economic self-sabotage. The cap keeps out doctors, engineers and other specialists -- people who save lives and often create jobs for others in America. One need only look at the national origins of founders of companies such as Google and Sun Microsystems to realize that foreign talent has helped keep the U.S. economy on the cutting edge.

Congress is clearly getting pressured from all sides. Let's hope it works.
