H-1B ping. Let me know if you're not on the list and want to be added (or are and want to be removed).

Of course it can be fixed. Will it be fixed is the real question

H1-B is simply a cover for immigration. Period.

H-1B is codified corruption. It can’t be fixed. Kill it.

I don’t see this as necessarily a problem with the H-1B visa program, but a problem of enforcement. It’s analogous to our overall immigration system; we have immigration laws and regulations, they just aren’t enforced.

The regulations regarding the issuance of H-1B visas is quite clear. The problem is that many companies have found a way to skirt those regulations, the executive branch refuses to enforce them, and Congress (for varying reasons on both sides of the aisle) refuses to compel the executive branch to comply with the law.

It’s the same as all Federal programs. Destroy the White Middle Class and replace them with Third Worlders.

ITS THE ONLY POLICY THEY HAVE!

Can it be fixed?

A 350 kiloton nuclear device centered on Washington, DC would get the process started.

Senator Cruz:
In 2013, Sen. Cruz proposed amendments to the "Gang of 8" bill that would strengthen border security, expand green card opportunities, increase high-skilled "H1B" visas, prevent illegal aliens from receiving welfare benefits, and enforce the rule of law.
Was he lying the or is he lying now?

It CANNOT be fixed, anyone saying you can fix it is just providing cover for their donors who want to keep it alive.... This program needs scrapped, its been openly abused for decades and no reforms will end it.

Senator Brownback once tried to justify the H-1B program by saying something to the effect that it's not so bad because we're only destroying one profession (white collar, high-tech).

This is why H-1B has survived. If all professions were equally affected by this, the public outcry would kill it. Put it to a vote. Ask everyone in the country who works for someone else if it's OK if their employer advertizes the job they currently have worldwide and then fires them if anyone in the world will do it for a lower salary.

If you want to know what is going on with H-1B you should read Michelle Malkin’s new book “SOLD OUT: How High-Tech Billionaires & Bipartisan Beltway Crapweasels Are Screwing America’s Best & Brightest Workers”

http://www.amazon.com/dp/1501115944/ref=rdr_ext_tmb

It is a real eye opener. I knew things were bad but i never realized how bad they were until I read the book.

Visas take the HiTech Jobs
Illegals take the low tech Jobs
Everybody outsources
and factories go to China or Mexico or wherever.
