A smart move. If people want to come here for work, they should come here to become US citizens. Now the problem will be preventing all of these high-tech companies from putting their work requirements into a zip file and emailing them to foreign countries.
Short of exempting email from First Amendment protections, I see no way of preventing this so-called 'outsourcing'.

Well kind of... we should have reduced the number to 0 and expelled all those already here, but that's just wishful thinking...

you might also add that those are the bulk of people paying federal income taxes.

"Employers, especially technology companies, argue the move will hurt them and the economy.Tell these anti-American employers to shove it where the sun don't shine. Start hiring Americans you (expletive removed)'s, instead of trying to tell Americans they don't have the qualifications so you can hire some foreign POS at 1/3 the pay scale.

sure there is a way to stop it. Taxes and Tariffs. Where there is a will there is a way.

Vermont Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy said: "Given the weakness of our current economy, and the rising unemployment we have experienced under President Bush's stewardship, many who supported the increase in 2000 now believe that 65,000 visas are sufficient."And the Dims still find a way to both dig Bush, and claim credit. Amazing...

This is such good news it's difficult to believe. Now let's cut it down to a big fat ZERO.

That will have unintended consequences.

All this will do is even further accelerate moving more jobs offshore.

No question, the government has an interest in seeing this group of IT employees take on the union mentality to ensure a steady stream of revenue.
The problem is that labor cost pressure will simply move major IT projects off shore.
The real culprit is government regulation that makes hiring an American employee so expensive; this is but a short term hold on immense downward pressure on labor wages.
