Senators Kerry & Lugar Introduce the Startup Visa Act →

From StartupVisa.com, today Senators Kerry & Lugar introduced the Startup Visa Act in Washington, DC:

This would enable immigrant entrepreneurs who are creating new companies to secure visas to come to the United States, if there is investment capital available from a sponsoring US venture capital or angel investor of at least $100,000 in an equity financing of not less than $250,000.

I think this is great, or at least a pretty good first step. Although, not everyone agrees. For a -mostly intelligent- discussion, visit the Hacker News thread.
