How can Chicago become a technology hub to, perhaps one day, compete with the likes of Silicon Valley? A coalition of businesses in Chicago thinks one step could be hiring thousands of foreign workers, all of them H-1B visa holders laid off in recent weeks by companies like Microsoft and Google.

Reset talks with Brad Henderson and Nuwan Samaraweera of P33 who are leading the Chicago H-1B Connect Coalition.
