WASHINGTON (AP) — Officials say leading senators trying to resolve a key issue on immigration legislation have agreed to a compromise covering expansion of a high-tech visa program.
The deal represents a compromise between the high-tech industry, which relies increasingly on skilled foreign workers, and organized labor, which represents American workers.
The agreement was negotiated by Sens. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. and Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and clears away one of the two major hurdles remaining as the Senate Judiciary Committee tries to complete work by tomorrow on the sweeping legislation.
