Well, I would say to the Senator from Illinois that when you bring a person here who has the capacity to add to the strength of a Microsoft, for example, which is probably our single biggest international producer of economic activity for us as a nation, after maybe, I don't know, Wal-Mart, but it is a value-added company of the first level, and that when you bring somebody here who Microsoft feels adds to their ability to be more competitive, if that person decides to go back to India or back to China, well, that will be a choice they make. But I suspect the odds are pretty good if that person has the opportunity to stay here under an H-1B visa program, they will probably end up staying here, or at least a large enough percentage of them will stay to add to our economy.
