H1-B Betrayal of American Tech workers

With all due respect, I beleive that the numbers in your article are vastly understated. First, this year's current allocation is 85,000 no 65,000. If you recall, the congress added 20,000 more visas on top of the 65,000 for people with advanced degrees. But then the clever folks at USCIS, decided to ignore the stipulation for the extra 20,000, and just use them as the original 65,000. But much more importantly, the 30,000 extra figure you cite, does not include the proposed use of unused H1-Bs all the way back to 1991. In addition, family members, according to this proposal, of an H1-B visa worker, would not be counted as H1-B visa users, which frees up thousands more H1-Bs for workers to take Americans' jobs. So the number is FAR higher than 30,000. This is the typical kinds of deceptions that our elitist Senators use for political cover. Another example of this deception is the claim that this will raise revenue (30 million is the estimate, I beleive) for the goverment in fees charged for the visas. False again because the lost revenue in income taxes paid by higher earning American workers will far exceed 30 million in fees. More deception by spineless Senators who in fact are selling us out for campaign contributions from the induestry and their filthy lobbyists. As an unemployed tech worker with 30 years of experience, I am utterly disgusted by the sellout. But the good news is that I will work my unemployed butt off to get these turncoats voted out of office.
