More on immigration and tech. business by Tets Maniwa over at SCDsource. Tets notes:
"In addition to the H-1B issue, the process for quickly and easily converting a student visa to a permanent resident (green card) visa needs reform, panelists said. There are some efforts in Congress to address some of the immigration issues for technical workers, but this legislation is stalled in committees and is unlikely to be passed in an election year."
Verilab colleague and fellow Scot-in-exile, Gordon, pointed me at this lighter-hearted look (well, lighter-hearted unless you're the poor sod whose visa has expired unexpectedly) at the very same thing. (You'll need to click on that and the subsequent four or five comics to get the full story).
