It seems the software giant has sent a letter expressing their support for the bill.If Microsoft could be apart of any lobbying effort for the bill it would be a huge asset.
Quote:
Microsoft sent a letter to two U.S. senators in support of a bill that would allow some undocumented immigrant students to become permanent U.S. residents if they go to college.

The letter is part of an ongoing initiative at the company to encourage new regulations that will allow more foreign workers into the U.S.

Sent to Senator Richard Durbin, a Democrat from Illinois, and Senator Richard Lugar, a Republican from Indiana, the letter backs a bill they introduced called the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act.

"It is essential to our nation's competitiveness and success to nurture the talent we have and to incorporate bright, hardworking students into the workforce to become the next generation of leaders in this country," wrote Fred Humphries, managing director of U.S. government affairs for Microsoft, in the letter.

The bill would let immigrant students become permanent residents if they arrived in the U.S. as children, have lived here long-term, and attend college or enlist in the military for at least two years, Humphries said in a blog post.

You're asking the wrong person dude, I haven't spoke to him about that subject. Although I did manage to get some exclusive info from him about the new I-pod, and guess what! Unlimited battery life, yeah wooo!!!

Sorry Ianus, back to the topic, yeah kickass information, maybe he could loan DAP like 1 billion, to promote the DA on commercials.

It would be huge if Microsoft could support the cause by donating for ads or other means of exposure.
