POLITICIANS MULL H-1B AND L-1 VISA REFORMS

摘要

A growing backlash among tech workers against the use of foreign nationals to fill IT jobs is gaining political steam, with lawmakers proposing changes to visa laws that let companies import IT talent. U.S. Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., introduced a bill last week that would prohibit companies such as Tata Consultancy Services and Infosys Technologies Ltd. from using L-l visas to transfer a worker from their Indian headquarters to their U.S. subsidiaries, then hire that person out to U.S. companies.
