The bill increases the annual cap on H-1B visas from 65,000 to 115,000, “authorize employment for the dependent spouses of H-1B visas holders, and allow a grace period for foreign workers to change jobs and not be out of status, allows for the recapturing of green cards that 'were approved by Congress in previous years but were not used'", and refers to “persons with extraordinary ability,” and “outstanding professors and researchers” to create an unlimited green card cap. Opposition to the bill comes as the high-tech industry, like Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us lobbying group, has pushed for increases in guest-worker permits. A group of four scholars challenged the high tech claims of an American workers shortage,, and Breitbart News stated, "'Despite evidence to the contrary, the tech industry has spent millions trying to get massive increases in the number of H-1b guest-worker visas, claiming that they "can’t find" Americans to do various tech jobs' even though there is a proven surplus of America high-tech workers.
