Lawmakers Sell Out Americans!

When I ran against Congressman Tom Price I pointed out how Price was selling out American jobs and wages in exchange for campaign donations by co-sponsoring a bill (H.R. 3938) to increase the annual cap on all employment-based visas (not just technically-oriented H1Bs) by over 115% (from 120,000 to 260,000).

Please watch this training video by a law firm that teaches companies how to disqualify American workers and instead hire low-wage immigrants.

LD-According to the According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, between 2000 and 2005, the United States' employment for computer workers grew by about 332,000.

During the same time period, the United States imported about 330,000 H1-B workers for computer occupations.

The situation for engineers was even worse, with 95,000 H1-B visas issued in the same period for engineering, yet according to the Department of Labor, engineering jobs shrank by almost 124,000 jobs.


Do you think any of the front runners from both parties (Hillary Clinton, Fred Thompson, Rudy Giuliani, Barack Obama, John Edwards, John McCain, and Mitt Romney) will address this issue? Or will all of them be blinded by the corporate donations?
