Dear Editor:
Thank you Immigration Daily for your comment (2/16/06 ID). It is as Immigration Daily says another example of the attitude that to many of us are
tolerating through inaction and should not.
Joan Mathieu
Dear Editor:
It is the prime duty of the US government to see to the betterment and
welfare of its citizens and to protect their job as well. But, due
to prevalence of H-1B program in the Immigration law the USCs and LPRs'
jobs are being taken away, and thus they are made unemployed. Now the
creation of H-1B visa has proved a curse to the USCs and LPRs. The
USCs and LPRs are struggling very hard to get a job, but the foreign
workers are getting jobs in the US very easily. The rate of unemployment
in the US is increasing day by day, but on the other hand, foreign
workers are coming to the US to work. When the application for H-1B visa
is filed by the employer, the USCIS does not seem so serious to look
into the application as to why the job that is being given to the
foreign worker, is not made available to the USC or LPR. Hundreds of
thousand of US citizens and legal permanent residents who have
engineering, MBA, computer science degrees are getting distressed and
depressed in not getting jobs suitable to their qualifications. They
are working as bartenders, waiters, cab-drivers etc. now. This is a
great misfortune for them. The employers are also mainly recruiting
H-1B workers by using "bodyshops". Additionally, the employers are not
compelled to recruit the US workers or show that the US workers are
unavailable before seeking H-1B workers. Furthermore, the DOL also
does not seem to have deeply investigated any H-1B abuses or seriously
asked the employers as to why the job was not made available to the USC
or LPR. In view of the fact that USCs and LPRs have been suffering
from being unemployed the US government should immediately abolish H-1B
program.
