Increasing H-B1 Visas

A new bill was introduced into Congress to double the number of H-B1 visas, then triple it.

Apparently much of Washington is totally oblivious to the fact that jobs in the technical sector have been decimated in recent years. Bush's insistence on "free trade" (ie, cheap labor) is draining America of technical jobs as well as technical superiority.

So now these people want to add insult to injury. In additon to decimating American jobs thru "offshoring", now they want to import all of the "offshore" workers directly into America, so that they can get even more cheap labor.

This demonstrates the need for a third House of Congress, as I mention elsewhere on this blog. Obviously, Congress no longer cares about the average American. Their only function is to sit there in Washington and do whatever the multi-billionaire corporatists tell them to do.
