Lofgren opposes the Smith bill, accusing it of being "cynically" designed to
"reduce legal immigration." Under currrent law, leftover visas in one
category can be used by immigrants in oversubscribed categories. If the 55,
000 STEM visas are not all awarded in a given year, the Smith bill would not
allow the unissued visas to be transfered to other categories.
其实silicon valley的众议员mike honda也反对
总而言之 他们主张应该有新的名额
而且已经提案了 这一次共和党应该还是会继续支持吧?
