The
exhaustion of the yearly "H-1B cap" in a matter of days signals that
our immigration laws and policies are detached from business and
economic demands. We reiterate that Congress needs to recognize that the
H-1B and other temporary nonimmigrant visa programs play an important
role growing and innovating the U.S. economy and enabling U.S.
businesses to compete for global talent. Arbitrary caps and quotas
continue to hamper innovation and motivation. The elimination of quotas
and artificial caps will allow our Nation to keep pace with countries
that welcome entrepreneurs and "job creators" with open arms.
