Some immigration activists fear that the support that High-tech companies have shown for a bill that would increase visas for skilled foreign workers is an indication that the powerful industry wants to cut its own deal and abandon the larger cause of a comprehensive immigration overhaul. That fear caused Senator Dick Durbin, one of the original architects of the immigration bill that passed the Senate last year, to contact industry leaders and urge them not to break their commitment to the broader changes, including a pathway to citizenship for the nearly 12 million undocumented immigrants in the USA. Tech companies say they remain committed to comprehensive change, but the controversy highlights the fragility of the diverse coalition of advocates and their growing frustration over the failure of Congress to pass a bill.
