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."

It is only a start. We cannot let it end there.

Just wait until the other employment sectors get hit with outsourcing (accountants, load processors, paralegals, medical transcriptionists, etc.). Then we'll all be standing at the corner fighting with the illegals for an hourly manual job.

We cannot let the blessings and sacrifices of our forefathers be sold down the river by a small handful of greedy liars and traitors.

Hey, it's a start. Sure beats the complete denial dance Washington usually does about immigration/outsourcing.
