The Homeland Security Department approved 10,000 more applications for visas for high-tech and specialty workers than Congress permitted for this fiscal year. The mistake was made with H1-B visas, available to foreigners with a bachelor's degree or higher who want to fill U.S. jobs in architecture, engineering, medicine, biotechnology and computer programming.
Only 65,000 H1-B visas are supposed to be given out this fiscal year, although Congress let the department exempt from the limit 20,000 foreigners with graduate degrees from American universities.
It's actually okay JP. These are jobs undoubedly that no qualified American would want. Those potential high-tech and "specialty workers." losing their homes and cars because they can't find a job Americans!
Better to let those jobs go to foreigners who may take those trade secrets and technological data back to from whence they came so they can use it against us later! Homeland Security in this instance is an oxymoron.
