    NPR: Bill Gates Targets Visa Rules for Tech Workers

    NPR let Gates dodge most of the questions refusing to follow up or request him to answer the question they asked. Gates kept returning to his talking points.

    Microsoft | Revamp visa system, Gates urges Congress | Seattle Times Newspaper

    Gates seemed to laugh before he answered the question about whether more H1B visa workers depress wages in the U.S. The laugh seems like a tell to me i.e. he’s lying.
