reports that H-1B visa opponents have filed a federal lawsuit
challenging Bush administration's recent decision to extend the
Optional Training Period for foreign IT students from 12 months
to 29 months. "The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Newark,
N.J., by the Immigration Reform Law Institute and joined by The
Programmers Guild and other groups, charges that the
administration's decision in April to extend the work period for
students under the Optional Practical Training provision is
little more than an effort to get around the H-1B cap limit.
'They did this with absolutely no legal basis,' said John Miano,
founder of The Programmers Guild in Summit, N.J. He said the
federal extension will hurt U.S. workers who are seeking job
training because it will divert training resources to foreign
workers."

Dugh....while they tell us we're to uppity and stupid to do it.

This is great! The Immigration Reform Law Institute is right and I hope there are more lawsuits coming! It's time we hold our government accountable!
