Christine Romans reports on a video that appeared on YouTube of an immigration seminar. Topics included a tutorial for employers who want to import foreign workers by using H-1B, H-2B, and green cards. The video clips were put on youtube by a law firm called Cohen & Grigsby who held an immigration seminar on May 15, 2007 in Pittsburgh. Some of the subjects covered included instructions to employers how to avoid hiring qualified and interested American workers. Dobbs got it right when he said that this is a blatant attempt to screw American workers.
There was a bloodbath of layoffs where I work, none of the H1 visa workers were affected. All those let go were American born (as in many generations); the one exception was a Filipino. Some had worked here for over 10 years. The company had its first good year in many, bonuses were paid. No real reason was given, just a "re-org".
I already mentioned once that there was some sort of official foreign visa posting in the kitchen at work, the salary listed is more than I am paid, and I have 19 years of professional software engineering experience. None of the visa or offshore workers are over 30 years of age.

So much for "loyalty."
Is there anything that congress hasn't screwed up?
Generations of Americans built a free nation with a healthy environment for innovation and companies to flourish.
It was built with the sacrifice, blood and sweat of Americans. It's all being given away to people who neither earned the right to these fruits nor fully appreciate what's required to keep a free nation.
Just so a handful of treasonous Americans can have golden parachutes as they exit.
