Google VP People Operations testifies regarding immigration , the H1B visa situation and Google

Google has recently commented on the current immigration issue and in particular touches on issues regarding the H1B visa. I myself follow this as I was once an H1B visa holder. Google VP, Laszlo Bock  commented "We would encourage Congress to significantly increase the annual cap of 65,000 H-1B visas, to a figure more reflective of the growth rate of our technology-driven economy." He also urged Congress to address the backlog of employment-based green cards for highly skilled workers. The entire text of the communication has been posted at http://64.233.179.110/blog_resources/Laszlo_Bock_immigration_testimony.pdf
