• Imported labor- H-1B Visa's
  The problem is not increasing the numbers of visa's for tech jobs. The problem is curtailing the misuse of the current program. I've seen various non-tech industries misuse the availability of cheap labor from abroad. Some like the hotel/casino and restaurant industry use the program for tax advantages well as the for temporary seasonal labor. The problem is that they replace existing local labor in favor of the bottom line (no taxes or benefits paid). The foreign worker also ends up paying no individual taxes. With the overuse of this visa for non skilled workers the amount of visa's left for high tech worker becomes diminished. Lets plug this visa loophole and reduce the amount of hotel/casino and restaurant jobs (Global Industry nad others) allowed by foreign workers in this country.
