A Business Week article that came out today states that: “Congressional leaders have begun to discuss legislation that would sharply increase the number of high-skilled foreign workers who could become permanent U. S. residents in the next few years.”

Making more numbers available for skilled workers would be a welcome solution. Stay tuned for developments on this front.
