Thanks for the information on the H-1B visas. In these threads, I see a lot of arguing back and forth but few facts and didn't really know what these visas were about.
Personally, living in S. Cal, I'm a lot more worried about all the uneducated illegal aliens streaming across the border than I am the educated, legal immigrants that we can keep track of - and kick out if need be.

I have no problem with legal immigration. Unless you are a native american indian, we are all descendants of aliens, legal or illegal, and I think that is what a lot of people forget. Now, where I have a problem is bringing in people from Iran, Syria, Iraq, UAE, etc. for obvious reasons. But like you, my biggest problem are the illegals streaming across both northern and southern borders. And I want to say something here that I've been saying everywhere else - the illegal Iranians, Syrians, Pakistanis, et. al. are not coming in through Mexico. They are coming in through Canada. Many have obtained landed immigrant status in Canada, which is similar to a green card here. They walk across and no one knows they are here until they seek out immigration counsel and immigration law firms are bound to "secrecy". Until immigration attorneys are made to give up their lists of illegal aliens that they are "aiding and abetting" to stay in the U.S. through poorly written immigration laws and loopholes, we will never get a handle on this situation. All it would take is mandatory reporting of names and last known addresses. The attorneys would also have to report employers who are violating the regulations by hiring illegals. We'd find more than 50% of all illegals, which is manageble for deportation. It might put a lot of attorneys out of business but then again, it just might make some of them honest and patriotic.
