>>has been legally in the US for 17 years and still on a temporary H1B visa (conveniently not mentioned in NYT)

disgraceful. USA needs highly educated (and other) immigrants so if he has been working at such high level positions for 17 years, why not roll the carpet?

Not sure why this is downvoted (maybe unnecessarily flamebaity?). I definitely agree there's a big tension between "temporary" and "17 years". I mean, jiminy, even revoking the visa would make more sense than keeping them in the country that long with the pretense that it's temporary. And seriously, by that long you've probably assimilated.
