Wow! Great idea for U.S.Chamber of Commerce....
...instead of it continuing its fine tradition of moving jobs to get the cheap labor of dirt poor 3rd World workers....
The Chamber(pot) wants to bring the dirt poor 3rd World workers to flood the USA so they can pay low wages without having to go overseas, Mexico, etc.
Nice timing too....at a time of extremely high US citizen unemployment....bring in tens of millions of aliens to kick even more US citizens out of a job...
If the U.S.Chamber of Commerce was a wh*re, it would be a $5 wh*ore.

You are grasping at straws. Businesses have to do what they have to in order to cut costs and benefit their stakeholders. Lobbying is a constitutional right for all entities - persons and corporations.
In a free market society, you pay what the market is willing to. Supply of labor is like any other supply in a free society. If I own a business, I want to make sure that my labor costs are low as can be so that my margin is nice, or else I will not have a business.
Let me guess — you are against US taxpayers bailing out corporations, but want corporations preserving quota for US citizens? I am not for any hypocrisy. The labor market competes. Businesses compete. No bailout and no special treatments for either. If everybody competes (for money, position, influence, etc), the society will auto correct itself as merit is rewarded.
