If you're a family with two or three kids, a car, possibly two, a home is $60,000 a year, which after taxes is about 35,000-$40,000 a middle-class income?

I've got nothing against corporate heads making good money, it's their business and they're entitled to a decent salary. That's why I support the conservative position of less taxes and regulations so businesses can prosper and reinvest in better equipment and more employees.

But does that mean I should support Congress allowing corporations to fire Americans and replace them with foreigners so that executive can get a 2 million dollar bonus at Christmas time? I think not.

These businesses better wake up and realize that putting their own citizens out of work to imported indentured slaves in the long run is not in their interest. They need us as much as we need them.

You claim that H-1bs are indentured slaves. All the H-1bs I know in the computer field make $60,000/year. Remeber that the average salary in America is under $30,000/year. Half of the H-1bs stay in America as they will get their green card, and then five years later, can become citizens. If this program is slavery then this kind of slavery is very attractive for many of the slaves.
