5/24/2007--Introduced.Defend the American Dream Act of 2007 - Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to require employers of H-1B (specialty occupations) nonimmigrants to use one of three specified methods (whichever results in the highest wages) to determine wages for purposes of required wage attestations.

(1) job advertising on a free Department of Labor website (as required under this Act);
(2) information sharing;
(3) prohibiting H-1B-exclusive employment advertising; and
(4) prohibiting an employer of not less than 50 employees in the United States from having more than 50% H-1B nonimmigrant employees. Eliminates the exemption from H-1B numerical admission limitations for certain aliens with a US master's or higher degree.
