The phrase "there are three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies, and statistics" has been attributed to Mark Twain, who popularized the saying in the United States - but it was probably coined by Benjamin Disraeli.
Under the "Enemies of American Workers" sidebar, please read the Stuart Anderson article for some statistics (lies).
Then, under the "Friends of American Workers" sidebar, please read what Norm Matloff has to say about the slimy Mr. Anderson.

Sona Shah didn't need flow charts or fancy diagrams to make her point
during
a U.S. Senate subcommittee briefing earlier this year.
She just needed her cell phone.
First, she dialed the number listed in a "Help Wanted" ad for a
computer
programmer. Then she let everyone listen to the ensuing conversation.
"I said, 'Hi. I'm an American citizen. I'm looking for a job,'" Shah
recalled. "They said, 'No, that job's been set aside for an H-1B
employee.'"
The staffers at the legislative briefing were stunned. "There were
audible
gasps," Shah said.
