But this proposal makes companies prove that they can't find Americans to do those jobs.

So they offer $1.34 an hour for a computer programming position and then whine that they can't find an American to do it. Bubba Bush to the rescue!

I have two friends with sons working in the Silicon Valley doing comp programming for a whopping $100k salary. No college degree. The young men are 20 years old. If a company can find someone to do the same work for half that salary would there be programmers pounding on the door? Keep in mind the economics of the region: housing etc.

That's right.

People are forgetting this does not apply only to unskilled work

American wages are going to drop through the floor

Which is the plan, of course
