I am wonder how the hell he could hire these "H" visa people when he has to prove he could not find the workers already here? I thought that most of the "H" visas were for ag workers and those coming over for education etc.

I do know that to hire an immigrant to work in a profession here that, as an employer, I had to apply to the state employment labor agency for permission to hire and then had to prove that I could not find any acceptable people here to fill my needs. I.E. after filing, I had to advertise on the UC web site for workers as well as advertise in the local newspaper for at least one month (I think) and then only after that, if nobody answered the add, could I go ahead to hire. AND experience in the trade was no excuse for hiring foriegn nationals. I was expected top hire here and train them in the job.

There is only one way Gates could get around this...by greesing palms.
