Hyperbolic, unnecessary article

There are two main problems with this article, as I see it:

  • It doesn't deserve its own article since there's not enough info to justify one.
  • It's hyperbolic: the scant references provided to back up the article do not describe what happened as any kind of "crisis". It's newsworthy and worth mentioning on Wikipedia, sure, but the article overstates the severity of what appears to be little more than a story covering the fact that the H-1B quota is not able to meet the demand for visas, and that "something needs to be done".
