H1B visa holders can not vote. Most don't end up getting citizenship. Most go back to India with their training and contracts and start businesses to compete with US Companies.

Well, I have seen many who do get citizenship (sponsored by the companies they work for here). Obviously Mr Tancredo is chairman of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus .

Don't get me wrong, I work in IT and don't necessarily benefit by their being here, but they are a different class than most.

I am against the open borders we have now, but lets not set our sights only on immigrants who are self supporting, let's make sure that we go after the real bad ones instead of wasting our time on these guys and gals.

I've had a bunch myself who've gone on to become good taxpaying citizens - conservative, too. All were looking for freedom and opportunity here, just like my ancestors, and, unlike my ancestors, they had advanced degrees in math and science.
