Your congress seems to think so (hr 5882 is for ALL workers) if we have a worker shortage, arent they kind of looting the taxpayer to the tune of 700 billion? House Judiciary Com. to Vote Today on Foreign-Worker Bills Updated Tuesday, September 23, 2008, 10:00 AM Public Notice for Markup Given in Dead of Night Yesterday The House Judiciary Committee will take up two foreign-worker bills today: H.R. 5882, which would add an additional 550,000 permanent green cards; and H.R. 5924, which would add 20,000 additional foreign nurses per year for three years (plus their families). Please contact your U.S. Representative through the Capitol Switchboard (202-224-3121) and ask him/her to do everything possible to stop the passage of these bills. The Committee waited until late last night to give notice for the markup, presumably in an effort to avoid public scrutiny. H.R. 5882 â "Recapturing Unused Employer-Sponsored Visas" This legislation is similar to the measure that Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) is using to hijack debate on E-Verify reauthorization in the Senate. The billâs sponsor, Immigration Subcommittee Chairman Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif), claims it would ârecapture unused employer-sponsored visasâ from as far back as 1991 and then add them to the current numerical cap of 140,000 employer-sponsored visas that are available each year. Current law, however, clearly states that any employer-sponsored visas not used in one year are allocated to the family-preference categories in the following year. That means that there are no âunusedâ visas from past years to ârecapture.â http://www.numbersusa.com/content/n...vote-expected-wednesday-recapturing-unus.html
