Do something about offshoring of jobs and these H1B and L1 visa programs and all the rest.

One high profile indictment by Ashcroft could do wonders for compliance.

Well I know of one fortune 500 company or if you wish fortune 5 company that has adirected someone I know to fill out the paperwork for hiring H1B's even though that manager knows several Americans who could do the job better and who are looking for work. Note this manager has worked with these people before and is aware of their capabilities and they submitted resumes with salary requests below the stated salary for the job which is above what an H1B will be compensated.

This direction according to the manager who is senior enough to know comes from the very top of the company and failure to comply means this manager will be let go. So the manager is faced with perjury or job loss without chance of future employment. Said manager has mortgage, children and loomimg college expenses.

Now were the CEO of this corporation which is so large it is almost a government in and of itself should IMHOP be indicted tried convicted and sentenced to a maximum security prison. And even though I dislike asset forfeiture laws this CEO should have all his assetts seized as he has met the criteria for having this respected corporatiopn become a criminal enterprise.
