Presidential candidate and Senator Marco Rubio has supported the expansion of usage of these visas for attracting and maintaining the talent for the innovations in technology field. But it has been criticized by some of the conservatives like another Donald Trump who is another presidential candidate. He criticized Marco Rubio for supporting the effort that will seemingly shrink the high technology job numbers that are available to the US workers.
Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg and the group FWD.us, has become the face of the US technology world also pushed for the reforms in the immigration and preferred the expansion of the H-1B visas. His name was also mentioned in the debate that was held on Thursday, and the FWD.us had been vocally at the odds with the immigration policies that were proposed like that of Trump’s which had advocated the deportation of millions of illegal migrants.
But some other technology firms have came forward for urging that the reforms in immigration including the expansion of H-1B visas for maintaining the international ability of Silicon Valley.
