According to the American Immigration Lawyers Association, three union groups, the AFL-CIO, IEEE, and DPE, sent separate letters to members of the Senate Judiciary Committee this week urging opposition to a proposal that would exempt foreign graduates of U.S. university master's and Ph.D. programs from the H-1B cap.
