Find a different answer to your own problems and stop creating problems for people in this country.

Toordaal: Be sure and reserve a big enough helping of blame for the bodyshops playing the game of international labor arbitrage, whether they are based here or India or elsewhere. It has been said, why are you against the current H-1B program when it is legal? Don't you support legal immigration? But what is not legal is the puffed up resumes, the bad labor practices (Tata, Patni, Infosys, have all been sued. Some successfully, some are waiting for the courts), the discriminatory job postings, and discriminatory firings of American workers.
Years ago I ran across a web site that recorded how even Harris Miller, Kiran Karnik's number one fan, was telling the Indian complanies not to abuse the related L-1 visa by playing fast and loose with the definition of specialized knowlege to bring people in. They were claiming that specialized knowlege meant things like, 'this guy knows how to work a spreadsheet' - who doesn't?
What should not be legal: displacing American workers, and refusing to look for or consider American candidates. But it is because when the program was first envisioned, the plan was to cherry-pick the best and brightest, not to replace large pools of rank and file workers. Then the companies saw a way to turn a talent search into cost cutting labor arbitrage, and went for it. Hopeful foreign workers were sucked into a dream machine (and often let down hard), while Americans were put out by the curb like trash on trash pickup day.
When the guestworker visa programs such as H-1B and L-1 were first set up, the people in charge over here did not anticipate the games that would be played to get foreign people in here and shove American workers aside. By now all the wrongdoing is so well documented, that I can't understand how anyone can pitch for a cap increase with a straight face. Yet, here we go again. What's their excuse in Congress for not knowing any better now that it's 2007?Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

BetsyRoss,
You are absolutely right.
In fact the men and women that we brought in legally in the 70's I thought were great. Many would finish their time. Some looked forward to returning home. Some I think extended their visas to stay a while longer.
There was a constant rotation of honest workers coming and going.
It worked so well that I thought it was a good tool in concurring the world and spreading our way of doing things.
With all of the illegal activity we have now I have gone sour on the idea. I once wrote a letter to Ronald Reagan with a plan. It was much like what we have now with One World Order except it was an honest legal way of achieving the same sort of goal.
I thought if we were a good example many in the rest of the world would want to adopt our way of doing things.
We need to get back to being a nation known by the way it does things that make people happy and proud to be a part of. We need to return to being a good example to follow.
The rest of the world may want to do the same. When they see people somewhere that are doing things they like, they need to adopt the practices in their own countries.
That is the only way we are going to become one.
I hadn't heard of One World Order at the time. It may appear to be the same goal but it is going about it for all the wrong reasons and is going about it in all the wrong ways.
I see that the decisions should be made by all the people out in the open. Not some secret group making decisions for all in an underhanded method.
Note the word concurring is used. Not conquer
con·cur /kənˈkɜr/
–verb (used without object), -curred, -cur·ring.
1. to accord in opinion; agree: Do you concur with his statement?
2. to cooperate; work together; combine; be associated: Members of both parties concurred.

Your welcome!
Just putting a little clarity out there for those troll types that like to blur the line between immigrants and illegal aliens. Big difference.
