Glenn Renyolds said: . I was talking a few weeks ago to a friend who chairs an IEEE chapter in Silicon Valley. He says they bring over Chinese coders, pay them $500/month and put them in corporate apartments with a van that goes back and forth to the office, then send them back to China after a year. But they donate to Democrats, so there’s not much press scrutiny.

[null and void]

Because they hire every available American engineer, and they need to import more.

How about we tie the H-1B program to the unemployment rate?

As long as more than 8% of the American STEM workers are unemployed, the H-1B quota is zero.

It doesn’t get to the full 180,000 unless fewer than 4% of the American STEM workers are unemployed.

All the firms that are doing this are committing massive fraud on their H1B visa applications-- they should all be jailed.

If they threaten to move operations overseas if H1B's are cut-off, then the government should threaten to seize their IP using eminent domain and impose an 'America only' licensing restriction on development.

More criminals associated with the Democratic party, otherwise known as the world's largest criminal conspiracy (along with their RINO assistants, of course).

"Silicon Valley prepares to push House toward immigration reform"

This is partially related to maintaining the vastly over inflated real estate and land values in the Bay Area, as well as feed the state via tax receipts.

In addition, the state of California has regulated and priced itself out of existance as far as a location to live and do business, and the only way to make up some of the difference is to bring in compliant indentured servants from out of the country - an approach that the left always rationalizes as a means to "save them" from their previous existance.

Silicon valley can go straight to hell!!

Maybe they should just move to China!

No wonder commercial software is crap... If they cannot make money using US workers, perhaps their business model needs a bit of tweaking.... Just saying...
