John Edwards, Chris Dodd on H-1B, L-1 guest worker Visas

[Robert Oak]

For all people aware of the outsourcing Visa, the H-1B and care or who have friends and family who have had trouble in their tech careers, these recent statements are more encouraging.

Much more at the link below but I've pulled out some quotes.

EDWARDS: Guest workers may be necessary where there are worker shortages, but I will eliminate abuses of the H-1B and L-1 guest worker programs by strengthening labor law enforcement and requiring employers to demonstrate that they could not recruit American workers and that they pay the prevailing wage

and Senator Dodd gets a gold star for this statement:

I continue to express reservations about expanding the guest worker program. It is important that we close loopholes that allow American companies to hire lower-paid, high-tech workers from abroad. In order for America to be a land of opportunity for all, we must, first and foremost, make sure that opportunity exists for Americans

Sorry about the link btw, there seems to be no easy way to cross post HTML type blog writings here due to the different format.

Feel free to repost this info, esp. to the labor voters in Iowa. It's hard to find out positions on these sorts of issues and I know that H-1B, labor arbitrage is an issue in Iowa.
