Bush Calls for Lifting Cap on Special H-1B Visas

A Reuters newswire article, via The Washington Post, reports that:

President George W. Bush Thursday called on Congress to raise the cap on the so-called H-1B visas that allow companies to fill high tech jobs with foreign workers.

"The problem is, is that Congress has limited the number of H-1B visas," Bush said in a speech.

High-tech businesses have pushed Congress to increase the number of such visas, currently capped at 65,000 per year.
