The H1-B Visa Program Deprives Americans of Jobs

[LBJDemocrat]

Microsoft recently announced that it would open an office in Vancouver because America's visa program is too tight (http://www.informationweek.com/blog/main/archives/2007/07/microsofts_cana.html). Apparently, not enough foreign workers are being imported to depress wages of white collar professionals or to deprive them of work altogether.

Here's a video that exposes how businesses exploit the labor importation program. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCbFEgFajGU&mode=related&search

2. It is amazing how many Democrats are actually supporting candidates........

that are pushing EXTRA HARD for more H1B visas for corporate america and corporate india; the sellout of the American worker continues.

3. And, uh, isn't Ted Kennedy supporting an increase in h1-B visas? n/t

[Double T]

5. Not certain. TK lost ALL my support over his participation........

of the corporate immigration and illegal alien amnesty bill.

6. Part of me

thinks Kennedy supported the amnesty bill out of a desire to make life easier for the immigrants and a desire to eventually naturalize them, which would've given workers greater political representation. Too bad the bill turned into a slave labor "guest worker", anti-worker scam, which was inevitable.

But it did piss me off big time, and I'm not that fond of him anymore.

8. I've got a BIG heart, BUT it is time the U.S. stopped being the 'savior'.......

for ALL the other corrupt, criminal regimes throughout the world that treat their own citizens like crap. Allowing 4 to 6 million immigrants into this country every year is going to destroy 'US'.

9. Ted lost me with his Pension "Protection" Act last year.

He was the chief negotiator of this piece of crap.

4. It amounts to domestic outsourcing

and it still deprives Americans of good paying jobs.

7. It does

For employers, the word American means, "used to decent pay and won't submit to injustice." They can't have that.
