Paying to beef up the border with Mexico by charging exhorbitant fees to Indian staffing companies complying with H-1B laws is probably a violation of the General Agreement on Trade in Services, an agreement that is vital to ensuring US companies are able to employ many of the 6,000,000 Americans working around the world. Senator Schumer's insinuation that staffing companies are engaging in something that wreaks of fraud is not only tantamount to slander, but it also ignors the fact that the staffing industry is a $61 billion sector of the US economy and there are now more than 14,000 staffing companies in the US, the vast majority of which employ only American workers. Almost every employer in American sources out at least some of its functions - payroll, accounting, legal services, IT, you name it - and the companies that provide these services are vital to the operation of businesses of every size.
