Now, let me get this straight.

H-1B visas are NOT permanent work visas. SOME TIME, the workers who come to the U.S. under these visas must return to their OWN countries, taking with them their experience and knowledge.

When they DO go, the American companies who employed them must search around for knowledgable employees who can perform the same work. THAT'S the reason that Willy Gates & Co. want MORE H-1B visas: so they can hire MORE cheap labor from overseas, so FEWER, more expensive, U.S. workers need to be hired, leading to FEWER U.S. students interested in taking career paths in math and science (because the jobs won't be there to justify that expensive education the U.S. government won't help them get), which will lead to FEWER qualified U.S. employees ... and so a call for MORE H-1B visas will be made and the cycle continues.

"Pin heads" and "ding-dongs," eh? You wouldn't know what either looked like unless you looked in a mirror this morning.

The fact that you "Agree with Gates" means your H-1B is due to expire, eh?
