On November 2, US President George Bush signed the Department of Justice Authorization Bill which will make extension for some types of visas easier, allowing visa renewals without having to return to the visa holder's country of origin. During these times of high unemployment for IT workers (such as myself), it is irresponsible for the President to sign such legislation. I encourage you to create a bill which will reverse this decision, if only to highlight the senselessness of the President's and the Department of Justice's choice. Even a small step such as this could help IT workers throughout the United States and help decrease unemployment rates nationwide. Thank you for your consideration.
