We have yet another politician attempting to victimize American citizens. ORRIN HATCH (R-UT) is supporting Sen.Spencer Abrahams (R-MI) efforts to increase H1-B visa quotas into U.S.,so that foreign nationals can take jobs of U.S. citizens. Will allow foreign workers to take some of America's BEST-PAYING JOBS, which rightfully belong to American citizens...Will results in a massive influx of cheap foreign workers which will lower wages for American high-tech workers...This is rampant fraud and abuse of the H1-B program making it easy for illegal aliens to enter (and stay) in our country..The U.S. Dept of Labor states there is NO high-tech labor shortage, so both the "Cheap-Labor" advocate corporations are lying and misleading the American public by support of this program.
Makes you wonder if these 'gentlemen' are patriots or?
H1-B's do not apply strictly to IT jobs. To meet the necessary criteria, the job must be of some importance, and the employer must prove there is a dearth of qualified U.S. citizens. If you or a family member have been admitted to a hospital in the past year, you can thank H1-B's that it was staffed adequately.
Your indication of "cheap labor" is way off the mark. H1-B's are compensated just as U.S. citizens are. In fact, American companies incur a large cost recruiting and relocating foreign nationals with H1-B's in addition to the administrative costs of complying with the Feds.
Americans are not being denied jobs in favor of H1-B's. There are not enough QUALIFIED Americans to fill the positions that exist.
Where have you been?? I worked High-Tech job till layed off and its just cheap labor not only in private,but also Defense Plants...
"Where have you been?? I worked High-Tech job till layed off and its just cheap labor not only in private,but also Defense Plants... "
Well, I've been right here in the U.S. recruiting IT and other folks, now that you ask.
Okay, you were laid off from a high-tech job. Could you define the circumstances please? Did the job leave the country? If so, that's not H1-B related. Did they outsource your function to another company? Not H1-B related. Was the job eliminated? Not H1-B related.
And I must reiterate, H1-B's are NOT CHEAP LABOR. They are actually more expensive when compliance costs are figured. A Nurse/Programmer/Physicist/or other covered occupation receives the SAME COMPENSATION WHETHER H1-B OR REGULAR U.S. CITIZEN. No exceptions.
If you want to rile people up with false assertions, go ahead, but don't claim you know what the heck you're talking about.
The H1-B Visa program has been turned into a conveyance for illegal immigrant smuggling - phony paperwork and the immigrant 'disappears' into the ethnic community - sometimes in servitude.
In a memorable, melodramatic duel of anthems sung in opposition, the
Germans
are drowned out by the Free French audience as the accelerated rhythmic
editing increases the scene's intensity as it builds toward its climax.
Everyone at the cafe pours their hearts into the singing of the song, except for two individuals - Rick and Ilsa. In two closeups, she gazes at Victor in a state of awe, fear and prideful admiration, forgetting to sing. Yvonne, who has been sitting at the bar with her German officer, shouts: "Vive la France!" at its stirring conclusion.
With the inspiration of Laszlo's bold, patriotic, revolutionary act,
Major
Strasser is thoroughly embarrassed and considers him a dangerous threat.
He
promptly orders Renault to 
punish the cafe's patrons and close down
Rick's
place before storming out, on the grounds that people are having "much
too
good a time." Rick protests to French gendarmes, but to no effect.
Reluctantly, Renault closes the saloon, hypocritically blaming it on illegal gambling:
Rick: How can you close me up? On what grounds?
Renault: I'm shocked, shocked to find that
gambling is going on in
here.
Croupier: Your winnings, sir.
Renault: Oh. Thank you very much. Everybody out at once.
Renault is handed his gambling winnings by the croupier as he finishes his pronouncements...........
.........Confronting Ilsa without Laszlo at her side, Major Strasser intimidates Ilsa and threatens to return Laszlo to occupied France "under safe conduct" from himself. Bravely and steadfastly, she questions the validity or safety of his guarantee. As he parts, the sinister Major offers two alternatives for her husband: placement in a "concentration camp" by French authorities, or death as he explains bluntly:
My dear Mademoiselle, perhaps you have already observed that in Casablanca (translation: 'The White House'), human life is cheap. Good night, Mademoiselle.
BUMP !
