"I call upon Congress to be realistic and reasonable and raise that cap,"

President Bush wants more American kids to study math and science but why would they bother when the Government is going to cut the legs out from under them in the employment market place?

If we want more people to go into these fields we should put policies in place that make it more lucrative.

As Mark Steyn commented: "Isn't there something a little ridiculous about the government, which has no competition, running a competitiveness initiative?"

GWB needs to have the recent U.S. Dept. of Labor study of the software industry H1-B's wages shoved in his face where-ever he goes. And the question demanded of him: "If industry can get H1-B's for half-price, why would they hire Americans?"

While vacationing in Big Sky last week, I toured Yellowstone with a Bechtel engineer. He was told by management that when he speaks to our school kids and college students...to lie. He was told to tell them there is a big need for them to go into math and sciences. What he is not allowed to tell them is that there won't be any hiring of the U.S. students at Bechtel. Bechtel now sends half of all its engineering work (by man-hours) to India.
