#1 It only goes back to 2002, at least in my new home state of Florida. This is interesting historical data, but it proves nothing about current employment.

And yes, I'm biased, but none of the individuals in this database are here illegally. They or their employers have done the paperwork to hire them in accordance with the law. The illegally hired are the ones avoiding paying taxes, social security, etc. and generally draining our welfare services.

#2 You might feel differently if you worked in IT or communications, where low-rent slaves have been imported to do what were, once, professional jobs. Now they are templated for the seriously technically impaired. The future of our technical lead in high H-1B venues will eroded significantly by the dumbing down of these positions to monkey-see, monkey-do level.

You can believe it, or not, it is so.

#3 "legally", UA...you may not like it, butthere's a difference. I sympathize, but we're talking apples/oranges. What about the lower-level construction worker who loses out to an Illegal? It's not the same

#4 I want a piece of this, now. UA responded to the legal workers, FrankG, that's what the article is about and he responded directly to the issues of the visa programs.

When they start importing CE's and other engineers for 1/2 what you make, that point will become a tad sharper, clearer. Get pissed, if you like, but it's the truth and your day is coming, too.

Illegals should NOT be be employed - that's why they come - and going after the employers is the way to stop it.

Regards these legal imports, the visa programs are stacked against the domestic workers by the power of corporations who testify before congressional committees with their BS sob story about not having enough domestic talent to fill the positions. Then the management of these corporations contribute to the campaigns of those who gave them what they wanted. It's that simple - and crooked. It's "good business".

Ask 3dc what he thinks. I believe he can offer a more colorful explanation of why he has been out of work so long, yet obviously a highly skilled comm industry talent.

It sucks when it hits home. The current situation is, mostly, a farce.
