Thank you senators grassley and durbin for tackling the guest worker visa program fraud and abuse. I am hopeful that your bill will ensure fair competition for jobs in my own country.

Thank you H-1b candidates – come back when the economy improves and you will find a more open reception and welcome.

YOU are taking away jobs from qualified American citizens and green card holders. Talent knows no borders and best and brightest are not exclusively limited to offshore guest workers…..

There are loads of qualified jobs candidates here in the US who have paid there dues and their taxes who have earned the right to compete for jobs in our own country.

I am certain that countries like India and other H-1B countries of origin would want to ensure that qualified citizens of your country are given a fair chance to compete for jobs in your own country.

The fact is that US citizens are fighting for jobs to keep their homes, put food on the table, and get kids through college.

Sadly, current American corporate visa legislation makes it LEGAL for employers to layoff American citizens and GC holders while hiring guest workers offshore for US jobs in the United States. Senators Grassley and Durbin are working to eliminate fraud and abuse and restore equal opportunity to American tech workers – and a chance to compete for jobs.

This is a win/win/win for US citizens and guest workers alike. New legislation would prevent unscrupulous H-1b and L-1 employers from charging egregious fees for people hoping to move to the USA.

Americans are outraged and newcomer guest workers who displace us from our jobs are not welcome.

Thank you – I look forward to welcoming you to our country some time in the future when our economy improves.
