Not addressing this key concern of the industry, Somers said, "represents the height of micro managing US industry, in what I would describe as 'maximum government', and flies in the face of the global free-market model" that the U.S. is built upon.

"We remain hopeful that Senator (Orrin) Hatch and others of his stature will ultimately address these flaws in the draft Bill. American firms require mobility to remain competitive, and mobility includes the free movement of technical professionals," Somers said.

The bill was passed by the Senate Judiciary Committee only after Hatch reach a deal with the Senator Charles Schumer on certain key provisions of the bill related to H-1B visa, popular among Indians, which one American media outlet described as "coup for the tech industry."

Hatch said that his amendments establish a coherent and constructive approach to high-skilled immigration.

"It will ensure that the H-1B and L-1 visa categories actually work," he said.

"Some of the discussion of this subject that began last week appeared to cast high-skilled immigration in a negative light. I hope that was not intentional because America, and American companies, need more high-skilled immigrants."
