“My question is: “Why wasn’t that a REQUIREMENT by law in the act that let all these foreign “guest workers” in the Country?”

Of course, exactly right and proper! Good on Senator Grassley.

Some leeway should be given for allowing Msft to maintain exceptional H1B talent but all things being more or less equal, keep the US citizens in their jobs and send the foreigners home.

Good luck, Americans! I really doubt Katie will have the American workers displaced by the H1Bers on the CBS Evening News. Fox News and some internet sites will pay attention to your plight but don’t expect the socialist-lusting pressies to give a damn.
