IEEE study correlates employment to H-1B Visa
WASHINGTON (19 November 2004) — The number of unemployed U.S. high-tech professionals dropped sharply from the first quarter of 2004 to the third quarter. The decline mirrors the reinstatement of the H-1B visa cap to its historical level of 65,000 in Fiscal Year 2004 from 195,000 in FY 03.

Yup, use of the H-1B isn't to get those engineers because there is a shortage...it's outright firing Americans and getting cheaper labor
on a corporate controlled VISA.

They put an increase in the omnibus bill today.

:grr:
