Dear Editor:
Aren't these guest worker visa programs a temporary band-aid? If the main purpose of these visas is to fill a gap, shouldn't Congress visit the issue annually to ensure proper adjustments? And shouldn't there be in place a program to get more US citizens used in these positions? If training is needed, then train the US citizen. Also, with the high numbers of un and under employed IT US born workforce, how can an increase in H-1B be justified? And why are immigration lawyers handling mon-immigration visas? These non-immigration visas are not governed under the immigration laws nor labor laws. They are simply a corporate welfare program with no checks and balances and no accountability. I would think as professional counsels, you would act responsibly and honestly in this regard.
