Hi Harpseal, thanks for the post.

"Kicking them out of the country will do actual harm to regular Americans. -
This assertion needs proof before we maintain H1B workers in this nation."

That is ordnance on target.

Despite the often repeated assertion that H1B's actually represent free market competition, they are an artificial manipulation of the labor market. The original purpose was to alleviate shortages in some high demand professions - there is no shortage of programmers and engineers after the whopping loss of over 1.6 million jobs in the last few years.

This doesn't even begin to address the security concerns of having a South Asian or Chinese programmer working on software used by banks, government, insurance, credit and defense institutions.

I was not trying to get that deeply into things I am merely making a modest proposal to rectify a situation cause by government intervention in otherwise free markets.
