That brings the grand total to almost 90 people in the Houston area this year.

As I said though, take a look at 2001. You'll exceed 500 records on a "Search All Categories" search. And that is just for ONE year. Most if not all of those workers have visas that don't expire until 2003/2004.

That's not true. Many of these were one year visas. Many others were dismissed during the recession. The fact is that there were well over 500 in 2001 and less than 100 in 2002. Companies let these people go and but back this year. I'm done here. I'll leave you to demagogue in peace.
