- H-1B opponents have no clout
- The Gates effect
- There is grass root support for the H-1B visa
- The H-1B lottery is a big problem for tech firms
- Congressional support for visa
The above five reasons come from Patrick Thibodou
here.
- Congress won't see through Bill Gates' misleading testimony.
- Congress doesn't want to know these truths anyway, as they don't want to jeopardize the lavish campaign contributions Congress receives from the tech industry.
- The Programmers Guild and many other critics of the H-1B program are diluting whatever influence they have (which Thibodeau correctly points out is limited compared to the huge clout wielded by the tech industry) by focusing on the second-sourcing issue (in which a firm hires H-1Bs and then rents them out to other firms).
The remainder come from Professor Norm Matloff
here.
