There are certainly enough American workers to fill the high-tech jobs here in America.

There are now, but that won't be true 5 years from now. Many have got out of the industry all together and won't be coming back, and there are not enough students getting an education for a jobs that are not currently available to fill the gap. Imagine that, people not getting educated for a job that doesn't exist for Americans anymore; who would have thunk it? Certainly not Bill Gates.

Sorry I missed this thread.

Enrollment in computer science departments has plummeted in recent years. Why study something when you are blocked from ever developing a career in the field?

The H1b is only the tip of the iceberg. The L1 visa is even more frequently used by employers to discriminate against American workers in the US.

Any visa that restricts an immigrant, temporary or permanent to a single employer is a violation of the 13th Amendment and a form of involuntary servitude.

Total BS...the only reason for guest workers is to reduce salaries and benefits.
