Bill Gates – Immigrant activist?

Admittedly, it may be a little hasty to call Microsoft head honcho Bill Gates an “activist” for immigrants, but he did discuss the urgent need for immigration reform. Said Gates yesterday:

"I'm a big believer that as much as possible, and there's obviously political limitations, freedom of migration is a good thing."

While in Mexico, Gates repeated remarks he made earlier this month to Congress urging them to “make it easier” for highly-skilled migrants to work in the U.S.

Gates is on a mini-tour of the Americas where he lost in a penalty shootout (via Xbox) to Mexican soccer star Rafa Marquez and announced the creation of computer learning centers in high risk areas of Colombia.
