Dear Editor:
Employment based immigration benefited the US more than other forms of immigration but it is poorly managed. I applied labor certification in 1999 and I just got approval from the Labor Department; 4 years. I can not think of anything else that is totally out of my control and that requires this long period of waiting. I think the United Nations and human rights groups should define the maximum waiting time in a civilized society.
Labor certification cannot help US workers because companies can fire the foreign workers but not necessary to hire identified qualified US workers. Companies can hire another foreign worker on H1 or L1 status or they can outsource the work overseas. US workers should stop blaming foreign workers take their jobs, instead they should blame themselves and the culture of the country.
What can help US workers is to have the good work ethics and a right set of value such as fairness. If you do not play fair, you could win a couple of games but eventually you will lose.
What can help this country is to change the culture - take a longer view of life, do not be so money driven, do not be so superfacial, live your own lives and not to watch reality shows on TV.
If the US wants to keep no1 status in the world, they'd better well manage the employment based immigration. Otherwise, the capital will flow out of the country and go to countries like India, Mexico, or China.
