> "Mr. Srini said the American visa restrictions had also crimped his ability to hire talented engineers. Because the primary visas used to hire software workers, known as H-1B visas, run out in a few days when the lottery is opened every April, he really has one chance a year to hire foreigners. And if they don’t win the lottery, they have to wait another year, often forcing Zenefits to find someone else."
I don't disagree with the article in regards to easing the ability for entrepreneurs to come to the States and open a business but it has been proven time and again that most of the "we lack talented engineers, we need more H1-B's" is in fact "we don't want to pay the going rate in the States, we need more H1-B's"
