Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Federal immigration offices are bracing for a flood of paperwork next week, as the world’s biggest technology companies file to secure special visas for highly skilled foreign workers. And they better get their applications in on time — last year’s visas disappeared in just one day. We look at why the tech sector is lobbying Congress to expand the number of so-called “H1B-visas”, and how political concerns about outsourcing might derail their plans.
