Alert! HR 5630 will double the number of immigrant H-1B worker visas!


At the behest of Microsoft and other large corporations, Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) introduced a bill that would double the number of immigrant worker visas available each year under the H-1B program.

HR 5630, the so-called Innovation Employment Act, would increase the cap in H-1B visas from 65,000 a year to 130,000 a year. Moreover, there would be absolutely no limit on the number of H-1B visas for foreigners who came as graduate students in technical fields to U.S. colleges.

As we enter a recession doubling the number of immigrant worker visas available each year makes no sense. It is irresponsible to import foreign workers instead of hiring American workers or training Americans for the jobs needed.
