"The U.S. Embassy could quietly let out word that we are passing out green cards or work permits to a certain number of French computer experts or civil engineers--or really hit below the belt by targeting French fashion designers and wine makers. Our high-tech and engineering professions could absorb 500 French computer specialists and 1,000 civil engineers without seriously affecting U.S. pay scales, but France could ill afford to lose them."
As if it isn't hard enough for unemployed AMERICAN IT workers to get a job with all the H1B visas already issued. Sure lets make it even harder for Americans get jobs that they are QUALIFIED for.
I know jobs are a problem right now, but when this war is over and with the tax cuts they economy will go through the roof and we can easily absorb these workers. (I hope and pray)
