Programmers and other tech workers do not. In an interview with Computerworld, Courtney talked about some of the issues affecting tech workers, including the ongoing debate in Congress over immigration and the H-1B visa cap.
It's unclear whether Congress will increase the current H-1B cap. What's your outlook? If an immigration reform [bill] is to pass Congress, my expectation is they will most likely have some kind of provision in that bill to expand the H-1B visa cap. The ideal outcome is that we can begin generating enough grassroots activities among people in the tech community to get in touch with their member of Congress to let them know that they oppose any H-1B visa increase as part of the immigration reform. That is not the bill to be addressing the issues surrounding the H-1B visa.
