"So...they must have a written job offer,which means they DO have a specific job lined up.Don't specifically see anything on changing jobs, but these two sections seem applicable..."

This make NO difference in my argument though. Yes they must have a job lined up....BUT this job will be one in which does not pay squat,2) will not carry health insurance, 3)One in which the immigrant will pay NO federal income taxes, 3)Thus leaving me with the bill when said immigrant gets sick and has to run to the hospital.

And you came to this conclusion how? Without reading the text of the proposed legislation? I think that the time you spend bashing a program you know nothing about would be better spent reviewing the text of the current proposals I have linked to and writing your Congresscritter about any problems you may have with the existing text.

FYI...from Tancredo's bill...

REQUIRED PROVISION OF HEALTH INSURANCE- An employer of a nonimmigrant described in section 101(a)(15)(H) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (as amended by section 210 of this Act) shall provide such nonimmigrant with health insurance that meets existing minimum Federal and State requirements, as applicable.

Also of special interest to most folks on this forum:

SPECIAL RULE ON CITIZENSHIP AT BIRTH FOR CHILDREN OF H NONIMMIGRANTS- Notwithstanding title III of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1401 et seq.), or any other law, a child born in the United States to a parent who is a nonimmigrant described in section 101(a)(15)(H) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (as amended by section 210 of this Act) shall not be a national or citizen of the United States at birth unless the other parent is a citizen of the United States or an alien lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence.

I suggest we back Tancredo's version, it is MUCH better.
