AZ's own Gabrielle Giffords votes to increase foreign work visas

[Joshua Zeidner]

Although not everyone agrees on the matter of h-1b visas, it's
important to know that Arizona's own Gabrielle Giffords is playing a
role in increasing national visa caps that greatly affect technology
workers in AZ and elsewhere.

"The Innovation Employment Act, introduced by Representative Gabrielle
Giffords, an Arizona Democrat, late Thursday, would increase the cap
in H-1B visas from 65,000 a year to 130,000 a year. In addition, there
would be no cap on H-1B applications for foreign graduate students
attending U.S. colleges and studying science, technology and related
fields. Currently, there's a 20,000-a-year cap on visas for graduate
students in all fields."
