Consider the following quote when deciding who will get your vote:
"We can’t expect the American People to jump from
Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their
elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism,
until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism.”

Eagle Forum Action Alert:
Congress Set to Import More Foreign Workers
Now that big corporate lobbyists know they can't get amnesty
for the millions of cheap laborers they have imported illegally, they are pushing to increase the number of so-called high-skilled
workers by raising the cap of H-1B visas. The pressure is on the House of Representatives to pass an increase soon,
most likely in the form of the SKIL Act (H.R. 1930), sponsored by Rep. John Shadegg (R-AZ), usually a conservative ally.
There are three reasons why Big Business wants to increase foreign workers:
H-1Bers are paid much less than Americans
The
influx of H-1Bers depresses the "prevailing wage" for all computer techies and engineers
H-1Bers are tied to their visa- sponsoring company (much like indentured servants), therefore preventing them from
becoming entrepreneurs or competitors
Currently,
the H-1B cap is 85,000 visas annually. The SKIL Act would propose an increase of 20% each year if the cap is reached,
importing up to 1.5 million underpaid workers by 2013.
Meanwhile,
U.S. engineers and computer techies are available to fill the positions.
A major study made by the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University found that there is no shortage of U.S. engineers. Eighty percent of respondents to a Pratt
survey say U.S. engineering jobs are filled within 4 months, and 88 percent didn't offer signing bonuses.
As graduation season begins, help protect U.S. engineers and computer experts
looking for a job by calling or emailing your Representative today! Let them know you oppose importing underpaid
foreign workers!
