Materials on the H-1B work visa issue, the computer industry's claims of a desperate software labor shortage, etc.:

• I recommend that you start with my quick overview paper of the major issues and my proposal for reform. Click here for that summary document.

• I have published an extensive academic paper, at the invitation of the journal, on the H-1B/L-1 issue in the University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform . Click here to download that paper.
  At 100 pages and 300+ footnotes, this is the most extensive study ever published on this topic.

• See also my article on offshoring, again invited by the journal, in the CACM, the flagship journal of the world's main computer science professional society.

• My congressional testimony (130+ pages), in Web version, and the better-formatted PDF form.
