The employer must show no Americans wanted the job.

That should be easy to do ... (???)

Been happening for years with the H1B program. Employer just signs a paper stating no local applicants available. Then they can hire foreign for must less than they would have to pay otherwise.

In the early 80's I worked for a co that typical hired H1B's at about 1/2 what it would have to pay locals.

This is just another way to allow companies to continue to hire cheap foreign labor and use the excuse that no local American would take the job.

How many born Americans (bA) actually do work in those same jobs throughout the Nation? How many bA's actually work as housekeepers, maids, work in fast food industries, food processing, etc., etc., etc.

These "programs" are nothing but more attempts to allow companies to hire cheap foreign labor at the expense of bA's. They can't get bA's to take the jobs because they have to pay a living wage.

Ironically, the amnesty will also fit into the Dems strategy and drastically increase the social service areas. The Pubs vote for hiring the illegals for cheap labor. The Dems vote for hiring the illegals to increase the socialistic programs. Both win. Actually, all 3 win--Dems, Pubs, illegals. Who loses? bA tax payers who have to pick up the slack in more social programs to subsidize the illegals to bring their standard of living and care up to the level of other Americans.

So, choose your poison: Get screwed in higher subsidizing taxes by the Republicans or get screwed in more subsidized social programs by the Democrats.

Employers played all kinds of games with this requirement for the H1-B visa program. It's a joke.

The Gov't is the only entity that can prove a negative. ;-)
