What about all of the Silicon Valley firms that are used to hiring M.S.C.S. grads from India for $30k a year? Who are they going to exploit for their cheap labor? I give this bill the proverbial snowball's chance of ever being made into a law. It wouldn't matter is %99 of the population was in favor of it and everyone sent a telegram to Congress supporting it, it still wouldn't pass as long as Corporate America wants lots and lots of cheap labor.
Still, it's a nice fantasy, but I think it's a LOT more likely that Civil War Two will break out before a bill like this ever passes.
To effect a moratorium on immigration.

Rep. Trancredo also introduced a H1-B specific bill, HR 3222. It calls for a roll back to 65,000 H1-Bs per fiscal year. Check it out at the Thomas web site. It's still not enough, of course. There should be ZERO H1-Bs, and the ones here now should be terminated in six months, and then DEPORTED.
