With the unemployment rate over nine percent, why are lawmakers, lobbyists and pundits across the political spectrum clamoring to increase the flow of high-skilled guest workers from overseas? Business advocates say U.S. companies need the world’s “best and the brightest” in order to out-innovate global competitors and to create new jobs. Critics claim the federal guest worker visa programs are rife with abusive practices and that there’s no shortage of the best and brightest talent right here – especially now with more than 20 million Americans jobless or underemployed.

1. the rich and powerful want us to think that criticism of immigration is racist

you cannot win against this propaganda unless you can take immigration enforcement to the local level.

2. US companies want the CHEAPEST, not the "best and brightest"

3. Imported workers receive three-fourths to to 50 % of what the

American worker would be paid. Or,what the American was earning
before he was let go and replaced with H-1B Visa worker.
