The number of students graduating with STEM degrees already far exceeds the number of STEM
jobs available but powerful interests in the business community are pushing Congress to allow more
foreign skilled workers into the country.
Congress is considering new immigration laws that would flood the U.S. with “guest workers” from the Middle East and Asia, a plan some are calling an open invitation for jihadists to walk right through America’s front door.
Critics say lawmakers – including top Republican leaders – are playing with fire and could jeopardize national security with the proposals to double or even triple the number of H1B work visas.
The legislation’s potential impact on the American worker has been widely debated on Capitol Hill, with experts warning lawmakers at a Senate subcommittee hearing last week that the plan would eliminate certain technology and IT jobs for Americans. But, so far, little has been said about the risks to national security.
The bills’ proponents in Washington and among Silicon Valley’s technology centers say America is not producing enough university graduates with so-called STEM degrees (science, technology, engineering and math). Their argument, put forth most passionately by presidential contender Jeb Bush, is purely economic. By inducing more foreign STEM students to immigrate to the U.S. and by expanding the visa program for skilled workers, it will fuel growth and bolster the tax base, they say.
But that argument falls flat on critics of the two bills floating in Congress — the so-called I-Squared bill in the Senate and the SKILLS Visa Act in the House.

As a matter of fact, Obama wants to change "STEM" to "STEMJ" - Science, Technology, Engineering, Math & Jihad to be more inclusive and less intolerant.
there will doubtless be new STEM...CELLS...popping up across the Nation
(Some call it open invasion for jihadists)
and remind me again how many unemployed and under employed citizens we have in the nation????
Islamic Immigration?
No Islamic Invasion!
My bad! Thanks, that’s better!
H-1b is government terrorist tactic aimed at the middle class.
America is falling behind.
We just do not have enough skilled Suicide Belt Designers, Beheaders, or Stonethrowers and Bullwhippers to deal with those muslim vixens who bare their ankles in public.
/s
...but impeachment is off the table.
I'm sensing some sort of a major advertising campaign in the near future to encourage more foreign students to study in America.
How about:
Come to America,
- Get a great government subsidized education,
- Get a great paying job,
- Commit great acts of jihad against the Great Satan
- Get a great retirement plan including 72 virgins in luxury surroundings, forever.

Republican Senators Orin Hatch of Utah, Marco Rubio of Florida and Jeff Flake of Arizona are joined by Democrats Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, Chris Coons of Delaware and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut in sponsoring the I-Squared bill. On the House side, the SKILLS Visa Act is sponsored by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and has more than 22 co-sponsors.
I just don't get women who subscibe to the cult of Islam. Do they also need jobs? Oh wait, they're not permitted to have such in many Islamic countries. What say you the United Nations of idiocy?
If we need them, I’ve no problem with Roman Catholic Hispanic immigrants or East Asian Buddhist or Hindu immigrants. However that is only if we need them. Muslim immigrants will always cause problems. Period.
Anyhow, with our unemployment rates, do we need anyone before we employ our own??
And no one even dares to question the danger of allowing this influx of jihadists for fear of being branded an islamophobe.
Instead, all politicians and civic “leaders” remain quiet and rather let the country be invaded by Islam, instead of sounding the alarm, knowing full well that the next generation will have to fight them on home soil.
The White House Muslim is flooding our country with millions of muzzies and wetbacks to transform America into a third world country......nice job, Soros and millions of airhead youth...welcome to a life of doom..............
Our political leaders are largely traitors, just like so in many countries in Europe, Norway for example. No wonder Anders Behring Breivik felt obligated to fight back.
I wish all the programmers that are American citizens would form a union, with the purpose of a political block that would force the end of H1-B visa program.
I’m not big on unions, but I think it would be pretty cool if all the programmers put backdoor code in that would shut everything down run by computer, so that when Congress told them to pound sand upon demanding to end H1-B visa program, the STEM union could just shut EVERYTHING down and force Congress’s unconditional surrender.
