Cross post from Dailykos.
Today Senator Dianne Feinstein introduced an amendment, SA 4075, to remove the escalator of 20% automatic increases on the H-1B, which they are already increasing 60%.
I wrote a Dairy on H-1B abuses yesterday.
If this amendment is defeated, it will mean:
year 1
115k
year 2
138k
year 3
165.6k
year 4
199k
….
H-1B Visa increases when the evidence is in they are used as a discrimination tool and as a labor arbitrage technique.
The Corporate Cheap labor lobbyists, including the richest guy in the world, Bill Gates, are out in force to defeat this amendment.
If you care about labor arbitrage and supporting the American profession and working people, please call your Senator to pass this amendment.
What we really need is the Pascrell Bill, but this is better than nothing!
If the escalator is allowed, we are looking at the death of the American engineering professional.
Please, please call your Senators now, pick up the phone and give a ring! Please help us!
