Technology companies have been among the most vocal for supporters for changes to immigration laws, especially for high-skilled workers. Tech companies were pushing for faster green cards and more visas for temporary workers. Some are skeptical about increasing the number of foreign workers in high-skilled technology jobs, saying that it may push American workers out of those jobs, but companies say that they cannot find qualified people to fill those roles. Others worry about exploitation of workers on temporary visas. Current plans for immigration reform would include increasing the number of visas for high-skilled workers.
