Hey, Sam’s back!
Thanks for theping, US007.
Sam, what is Duncan Hunter’s position on H1B visas and abuse of the system?
Here’s what I posted on the other thread...

I’ve been following the H1B visa thing for a while. The system has a tendency to breed fraud. Duncan Hunter could easily win both sides of this issue by opening an investigation into the fraud. Once employers know that there would be a consequent decrease in the numbers of supposedly qualified applicants, all of a sudden, then the open slots wouldn’t need to be filled by lottery. The quality of the immigrants goes up, and everyone wins.
The fair trade thing has been with us for a long time and will probably show itself in many forms, from Smoot-Hawley to H1B Visas. Here’s an oldie but goodie thread on Visa abuse.

That is a great quote!
