Elected officials in denial over H-1B program, plight of U.S. workers

Where have all the jobs gone long time passing?

Thanks to our congressmen and senators, millions upon millions of
jobs for U.S. citizens have gone to non-U.S. citizens both here and
abroad.

One of the more brilliant programs that our congressmen and
senators have designed is the H-1B visa program. A person designated as
an H-1B is a high-tech nonimmigrant worker who cannot become an
American citizen.

These people are imported into the United States because a U.S.
corporation tells our government that they cannot find a qualified U.S.
citizen for the position being offered.

How either naove or stupid can our representatives be? With the
millions of Americans who are unemployed, do they really believe that
there is not an American qualified for the jobs that are offered! Do
they even have a clue to what is going on in this country?

Since 1985, over 17 million various high-tech, nonimmigrant visas have
been issued. (Source: 2000 statistical yearbook of the Immigration and
Naturalization Service U.S. Department of Justice Immigration and
Naturalization Service, Page 152 and 153, Washington DC. Sept 2002)

In the year 2001, nine out of every 10 new job openings for computer/IT
were filled with an H-1B worker. Despite record unemployment, the INS
issued 312,000 new visas in 2002.

These and other facts about the H1-B program can be found at the Web
site www.zazona.com/ShameH1B.

Some of the major abusers of the

H-1B program are Microsoft Corp., Hewlett Packard, Intel Corp., Lucent,
Motorola, Oracle, Morgan Stanley, Yale University, Sigma Systems, Ernst
Young LLP, Computech, and Harvard University, but the list goes on and
on and on.

A letter was written to Sen. Judd Gregg complaining about this problem
and asking him what he could do to help American workers.

He responded that he was proud to have increased the number of H-1Bs
that could enter the country since we have a high-tech worker shortage
here, and that we need more foreign workers to fill the jobs.

For a copy of this letter, e-mail me at jobsforamericans@comcast.net. I
will be more then happy to forward a copy to you.

We need to elect representatives who are sensitive to the American
workers needs. Not representatives that take millions of dollars
from big business for contributions and then support these businesses
that are misrepresenting their needs for H-1Bs and other nonimmigrant
workers.

A good portion of phone customer support is now done outside out of the
United States. This support used to be done within the United States,
but since corporations realized that they could save millions in labor
costs, they have farmed the work out to foreign companies.

For example, call Comcast for support and you will probably reach
Newfoundland. Call many other companies for support and you may reach
India or other third world nations. All of this is done with the
blessing and support from our government.
