America’s Other Immigration Crisis
Wadhwa, Vivek
The American, July/August 2008
"Over a million skilled workers and their families in the U.S. are waiting for permanent resident visas. But few visas are available and the backlog is rapidly increasing."

Vivek Wadhwa is Executive in Residence at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering and a Wertheim Fellow at Harvard Law School's Labor and Worklife Program.
