Seems a laid-off U.S. citizen is wondering why foreign-born non-citizens were kept on. Seems the Feds wonder why, too.
Here's an editorial from eWeek about how H1-B's should be cut back.
Here's a story about the H1-B program, how it's going to sunset from 195,000 visas to 65,000, and how Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo, wants to kill the program entirely in H.R. 3222 if the economy doesn't pick up. Includes an interview with Rep. Tancredo.
Even the Reflublicans need to figure out whose side they're on in this one.
Since the explicit premise of hiring H1-B workers in the unavailability of qualified American candidates, how can even a single American citizen be discharged from a company before all H1-B's in his job classification have been let go???
