Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, joined by two other GOP senators and Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., reintroduced legislation late Thursday that would let American employers recruit more highly skilled foreign workers and temporarily increase the level of H-1B visas. The bill, whose other GOP sponsors include Sens. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., and Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., comes amid heavy lobbying from high-tech firms and support from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. In a statement, Cornyn said passing an immigration bill should be a top priority, but his spokesman said there is "little appetite for immigration reforms this year by the [Democratic] majority."



Send a fax to the Senators listed above and tell them that there are plenty of American tech workers to fill the available jobs. The answer is not to import more workers!

Thank you for this notice. We need to contact our Senators to oppose.

blast all four of these morons with calls.

tell em to shove it. remind these morons that 250,000 americans lost jobs in the first quarter of the year

Sens. Lieberman, Cornyn, Gregg, and Hagel have introduced a bill calling for an increase in the number of H-1B visas.

Sen. Durbin opposes the move. He said: "The bill falls short" and "All employers seeking H-1B visas must first be required to make a good-faith effort to hire an American worker.... I will fight any H-1B proposal that does not include the fundamental principle of hiring Americans first."

Send a fax to Sen. Durbin and thank him for standing up for the rights of America's underemployed tech workers.

Dear Senator Durbin:

Thank you for working to ensure that America's tech workers are given a fair chance.

The H-1B visa program is one of the most harmful programs to American workers. It depresses wages and displaces workers in science, technology, engineering and related fields. For instance, starting salaries in high-technology fields, adjusted for inflation, have been FLAT or FALLING for the last five to seven years. This is true for workers with both bachelors’ and with post-graduate degrees.

These graduates are finding that there is little place for them in American business - not when they expect the prevailing wage, that is.

Increasing the number of H-1B workers will only make life that much tougher for new graduates, as well as all American tech workers. Please work to ensure that these increases do not come to fruition.
An American for sovereignty,

P.S. Thank YOU.....We cant thank you enough. Politicians are out of control and far from what the working man needs... I dont agree with you most of the time; but this time I do
