The H-1B visa program was designed to encourage highly skilled foreign workers to put down roots in the U.S. and spur innovation.

The first sentence is crap.

The H-1B program was designed to help businesses overcome temporary shortfalls in the availability of highly skilled resources.

Why does this CIO think that a "temporary" visa was designed to "put down roots in the U.S.?"

Right, that sentence is a complete lie. H-1B’s are specifically prohibited from putting down roots in the U.S.
