Bill Gates Seeks Rise in Immigration of Highly Skilled Workers

clipped from workforce.com

If Congress does not allow more highly skilled foreign students to work in
the country after they graduate from U.S. universities, American high-tech
companies will lose their ability to develop innovative products, Microsoft
chairman Bill Gates told a congressional committee on Wednesday, March 12.

At a hearing of the House Science and Technology Committee, Gates outlined
immigration reforms that he said would help fill “a critical shortfall of
skilled scientists and engineers.”

He also advocated improving science and math education and increasing federal
funding for basic research.
