Bill Gates on H1B Visa restrictions


H1B visa is the visa issued by U.S.C.I.S to foreign skilled workers. A few years back the annual cap on these visas reduced to 65,000 from 195,000.

Bill Gates spoke at a recent Microsoft sponsored discussion about ways to drive US innovation and help the country compete with other nations. He talked about the H1B restrictions imposed on foreign skilled workers.

"The whole idea behind the H1-B restriction thing is, 'Don't let too many smart people come into the country...... The thing basically doesn't make sense."

Finally someone makes sense!
