I have seen major companies in Phoenix using hordes of workers of Indian extraction. I'm sure they are H-1B workers. I am against expanding H-1B legislation because it skews the labor market in favor of immigrants willing to serve as indentured servants, stifling competition. This is an example of the Congress giving itself special powers that companies then can then conveniently "purchase." The labor marked should be a level playing (or working) field. Labor law is so convoluted, though. I'm also for lowering the minimum wage to zero and rescinding a lot of EEOC and OSHA regulations so the labor market can govern itself. But them I'm a dreamer and a lot of this probably is contradictory. Sigh.

Perfect idea if combined with complete abolishment of welfare, food stamps, unemployment benefits etc ... Borders should be completely open so Americans will have to learn to became competitive with Chinese, Indians while the business can relocate across the world. And who knows, maybe some more indolent people will move out of the country (to Europe or Canada for example).

What the heck? Let market governs EVERYTHING! Let auctions replace the silly and wasteful elections - the most successful are the most qualified to rule. Army, police should be privatised and let them be based on profit. Justice system can be made much more efficient if based on a fee system - O.J.s of this world instead of paying lawyers will be able to purchase the favorable sentence without all the confussion. Roads should have toll-houses. Etc, etc ... </SARCASM>

That is precisely what is going on. Congress has the power to import cheap labor through immigration legislation and there is no shortage of companies eager to influence Congress to bend immigration polices more to their liking…for a price of course.

It's a treasonous and corrupt system that is diametrically opposed to the interests of the AMERICAN PEOPLE. These days “our” government seems totally consumed with making America the job market for the rest world with Americans last in line. All in the name of “Diversity”. Who does this government work for anyway?

This is ANOTHER great outrage of the times. And where is the debate with the two major parties on this? A sure sign of corruption is when two “supposedly” opposing parties agree on issues that the majority of Americans are vehemently against. Our government is becoming ever more detached from the electorate.
