Computerworld - It would behoove members of the programming community to learn the name Tom Tancredo ["Q&A: Congressman Explains His Opposition to H-1B Visas," QuickLink 41779]. He's our best friend in Washington. Where most members of Congress express canned sympathy when told of the problems programmers face, Tancredo has taken action. He has introduced real legislation intended to help America's programmers. In standing up to the money interests, he has taken a lot of heat from politicians. Programmers ought to take note of what Tancredo has done for them and give him their support.
