IEEE seeks unlimited permanent visas for all science and tech graduates

H-1B Visa Foes Join To Pressure Congress On Green Card Reforms -- H-1B Visa

The IEEE-USA has petitioned Congress to create an unlimited number of permanent residency "green cards" for any foreign student graduating from a U.S. university with a Bachelor's degree or higher in any field of science, technology, engineering or mathematics. This might be called the "Full Employment Act for Dwindling Computer Science Departments at U.S. Universities".

I and many others have informed the IEEE that we will not be renewing our memberships in the IEEE. You can let their director of government affairs know what you think about their proposal by sending an email: c.brantley@ieee.org.
