2. I agree. . .
this is a form of corporate terrorism, especially in these lean economic times. We need to be providing
jobs for Americans first.

I'd like to see a law stating that any company requesting H-1B employees must prove (by showing the number of
employment applications they've accepted) that no American Citizen has applied for or is interested in doing
the work. That'd put a stop to it. Companies should be forced to advertise these jobs nationally before being
allowed H-1B workers.

There are millions of unemployed people in this country who would be thrilled to be offered those jobs. There
is definitely no shortage of willing workers here. The H-1Bs are not necessary at all.
