Cantor and the GOPe want to double the size of the guest worker programs to bring in more STEM workers.

But we already have STEM workers who can't find work, who are either native-born citizens, naturalized citizens or already legally residents.

Why does Cantor want to bring more foreign STEM workers into an economy that already has too many?

There is no shortage. There are unemployed STEM workers who are US citizens or legal residents.

There are 11.4 million Americans educated in STEM fields who are NOT working STEM fields. After choosing to get a STEM college degree, they either could not or were not motivated to get a job in STEM fields.

So why would Cantor or anyone else want to bring in more STEM workers when we already have too many?

Unemployment is an act of love.

LOL. I think you know the answer. They work for less money and the employers have greater control over them since they are sponsored by the employers. If the guest worker loses the sponsorship, they must go home.
