But even that is too much for Congressman Tom Tancredo. Often described as a onetrick pony and a single-issue Congressman, Tancredo has campaignedrelentlessly against both illegal and legal immigration. But as chairman of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus now, his 15-line Bill aimed at eliminating all visas under H1-B category introduced this week goes further than he has done before at time when job loss in the United States has roused sentiments against white collar immigration.This guy may be writing from India, but he sure has that Washington Post, New York Times, the leftistist media writing style down.

You gotta know that this class of immigrants is least likely to go on welfare, join a labor union, or vote democRAT, therefore they must be stopped.
We must only allow Immigration by those who cannot support themselves and will therefore vote for the democRAT party.
That is what this is all about. Why waste our time allowing people to come to this country who will pay taxes, obey the law, support themselves, and probably vote republican.

Let's see. High tech companies donate millions. Average citizens donate only a little. This one is going nowhere.

Good. End H1-B visas and tax software that is outsourced offshore as the "foreign-made goods" that it is.

I support that move.
Cancel the damned thing!!!!
Cancel all of the ones that have been issued!
Could it be that Peter Jennings got wind of this proposal and that all of these visas might be cancelled and that's the real reason that he finally became an American Citizen???
Hmmmm?

"The move, if it comes to fruition, will particularly hurt Indian business interests"
S, How could this be? The H1-B visas are for "individuals". How could it "hurt Indian business interests"??? Corruption in government and/or business?? < /sarcasm > Peace and love, George.

There could be a happy medium compromise as far as immigration goes.
When the unemployment rate in the US falls below 3% then perhaps we could adjust our immigration numbers accordingly.
I don't have any idea what the current immigration allowance is based on. Other than political asylum.
To: sarcasm
A prominent anti- immigration lawmaker has introduced in the US Congress, a Bill that seeks to abolish the visa category that facilitates a large number of skilled Indian professionals take up jobs in the United States. So they abolish the H-1B. That leaves L-1 visas untouched, and the direct offshoring of jobs to remote sites overseas will continue unabated.
As a senior Merrill Lynch VP said in a Wall Street Journal article some months ago, "If it can be done in front of a computer screen, it can be done in India."

Dang, I lost my job June 1st to India and everyday I read about the offshoring situation. In the last month, I've applied to SO MANY companies and NOT ONE response. I was hoping that my stellar career at ARCO would at LEAST get me an interview...
For the first time in my life I'm on unemployement and I just read an article that CA's unemployement fund will be depleted by the first of the year..Talk about TIMING! Maybe when the CA companies have to bail out the fund (if they will) they will think twice about sending those jobs to India...doubt it. I have a meeting with the EDD this week so they can review with me opportunies in my chosen field... can't wait to hear what they tell me.
Thanks for listening.

In years gone by when a company needed skilled workers of any sort, they trained them. They didn't import them. Now that we have massive numbers of unemployed skilled high tech workers playin' golf everyday, it's time for some east indian pick slips.
