These companies want the H1B numbers DOUBLED and in addition a whole new class of visas for low-skilled workers with a massive number of recipients.
So they just want permission to make the fire worse in order to put it out? That’s about what they’re saying that they want to do.
Such a measure(increasing guest workers) doesn’t make sense when US citizens could capably perform this work - whether they are employed(wanting better work) or short/long-term unemployed.
That, and their use of “global competitiveness” doesn’t make it any more valid.
