With 6.1% unemployment all H visas should be revoked period...

There are certain H categories where there are simply no qualified Americans. Revoking those will bring those industries to a stall. Example: Electric power system engineers. During the internet bubble most engineering students went to hi-tech related programs. Traditional power engineering programs were discontinued at most universities due to lack of applicants. The older professionals are now retiring, creating a very serious shortage, at a time when the power system infrastructure has lagged behind and needs extensive expansion.

I personally know of several unemployed electrical power systems engineers and there are still such engineering programs in colleges and universities.

Please come over here and tell that to all the EE's that I went to college with. I can't promise to protect you.
