Bush wants H-1B visa cap hike
The president makes pitch for more guest workers while selling energy plans
In that speech, Bush said there was a need to fill high-tech jobs in the U.S. “And so one way to deal with this problem, and probably the most effective way, is to recognize that there’s a lot of bright engineers and chemists and physicists from other lands that are either educated here, or received an education elsewhere but want to work here. And they come here under a program called H-1B visas,” said Bush.
Under the H-1B program, “employers do not have to search for Americans, and can prefer an H-1B [visa holder] over an American citizen or green card holder. So, if the President is arguing to reform the H-1B program, then this is great. But I doubt he is.”
Just what we need… Well I guess I’ll just go shopping, and Charge It!
