H1B wows!

Reuters- Canada reports today:

MAPLEWOOD, Minnesota (Reuters) - President George W. Bush on Thursday called on Congress to raise the cap on the so-called H-1B visas that allow companies to fill high tech jobs with foreign workers.

"The problem is, is that
Congress has limited the number of H-1B visas," Bush said in a speech.
"I think it's a mistake not to encourage more really bright folks who can fill the
jobs that are having trouble being filled in America, to limit their number. So
I call upon Congress to be realistic and reasonable to raise that cap," he said.

Only time can prove the truth, because just heard Democracy Now report today:

Just one day after President Bush drew headlines for pledging to reduce the country’s reliance on Middle Eastern oil by 75 percent by the year 2025, two top administration officials said Bush’s promise was not meant literally.

If it turns out false, it's ok- just don't grunt out in pain ... :) [Link]
