I know many of my former college mates who studied IT, and cannot even find a job despite having done well acdemically. And we keep hearing these tales about lack of Math and Science skills among US citizens. That's not true, there are plenty. I personally feel that what's happening is simply a lack of jobs for Americans in Science and Engineering fields simply because the first choice is given to foreign workers. If this is the trend, we see a sad future because I don't think many of the young kids today will want to study Science or Engineering in college. Please think about the future of the children growing up today. And I hope the politicians and the country will have a little more faith in their own people. 2008-03-23T13:54:41Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-03-23:/comment/3601 Anonymous What a lying sack Bill Gates has become, and of course our congressman can't be expected to do the simple math to show what a pack of lies they are being told. 2008-03-23T08:48:00Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-03-23:/comment/3595 Anonymous An increase in the H1B visa allocation is supported by a coalition of high tech corporations, the powerful American Immigration Lawyers Assocciation (AILA), and Hillary Clinton's "Friends of India Caucus". Pittsburgh Law Firm, Cohen & Grigsby, a top ten Pittsburgh law firm, created a video of a seminar in which the law firm conducts a seminar on how a corporation is to create the illusion that US citizen candidates for a job do not exist. The lawyer responsible for the seminar is Lawrence M. Lebowitz, Vice President of Marketing for Cohen & Grigsby. Lebowitz is rated by the AILA as one of the top 100 attorneys in America. Because of public outrage, the video has been removed from the Cohen & Grigsby website. A composite of the video was created by the Programmers Guild.

Alan Greenspan, a past Chairman of the Federal Reserve, says the economy is in its worst shape since World War II. Bill Gates is presenting a myth that there is shortage of high tech workers, when the opposite is actually true. There is a shortage of high tech jobs. If there was a shortage of workers, wages would be rising. Actually wages are dropping, indicating a shortage of jobs. Passing this bill will add to the pain and suffering of the US high tech worker. Now is not the time to undermine the US high tech worker by doubling or tripling the immigration quota allowing foreign workers to displace US workers.
