My own Congressman Mark Kirk of Illinois sent me a letter claiming that H-1Bs and L-1s are necessary because there is a "shortage" of workers in the U.S.

Of course there is not a shortage of IT workers in the U.S. So why does Congressman Kirk say there is? I can't believe the guy is so clueless as to actually believe there's a shortage of IT workers in the U.S. What's in it for him?

Check through the freedom of information act..want to bet who are some of his biggest supporters?

There are a lot of tech workers here on FR. What would happen if all of them and the men they know wrote to your congressman ?

You're asking why a politician either is misinformed, uninformed, or lies?

I've said it before, here I go again: We have the government we deserve, because we collectively refuse to limit their terms the way they should be limited, by throwing them out of office. People should not be allowed to make politics their career; it impacts their basic honesty.
