The bill is of no real interest to me. I don’t have an opinion about what the optimal number of H-2B visas made available to foreign nationals should be. I prefer to let business owners work that out in the course of their endeavors. I consider labor a fluid and competitive economic resource no different than capital, raw materials, energy etc. Like all assets and investments any business owner manages, labor assets should be deployed subject to the rigorous tests of competing successfully in global markets. If I have a guy in India who is a better option as a software engineering recruit than any guy I can find in the American labor pool then I think I should be able to hire the Indian guy without a lot of government red tape. It’s my company, my job, my capital and my accountability.
Ditto!!
Suggestion: Why not move to India where you’ll find lots of folks happy to work for five bucks a day?

Thanks for shareing your perspective but I disagree.
In a country of 300 million people, some folks sure are going out of their way to NOT find someone in the American labor pool.
Who provides security for bussinessmen in America? India? The USA. Who gave bussinessmen their education? India? The USA. Who gives bussinessmen representation in the Government and allows them to vote and partake in the affairs of the greatest country on earth? India?
Some folks may have forgotten they ever heard of Faithfullness and Loyalty? These things need to be reexplained, we need to teach why they are important.
It might seem something that doesn’t need explaining. It might seem that being faithful and Loyal are obviously good things that need to be maintained and practiced. Well so I would say are things like not killing an innocent little baby before its born, but look whats happened to that obvious concept.
If God has to advertise and market every Sunday, much more so do Conservatives.
Faithful and Loyal are more important than profit. But many dont think so and that is why we have 12+ million illegals in this country......... and the state of California being run by a state government that continues to spend billions on illegals in these difficult economic times.
Maybe we can start up slavery again. Then we can really get those foreigners in here at bottom dollar. Not only do we get a great low salary, but we also keep those other developing countries down by stealing their talent after they have spent money educating and training them.
A country of 300 million people that spends so much money on education should not have to import workers.....certainly not when unemployment is going up.
Profits today bring obomination tomorrow.
It's also your country, twit.
And if you dilute it with enough Third-Worlders, too quickly...the cultural glue which binds us as Americans will dissolve.
Cheers!
