Three Interesting Articles on H1-B

(Below is an excerpt from Rob Sanchez's Job Destruction Newsletter)


Another great CIS backgrounder has just been published. John Miano's paper follows the one by Norm Matloff last month.

H-1Bs: Still Not the Best and the Brightest By Norman Matloff, May 2008

Bill Tucker did a great report on the Lou Dobbs show using material from the Miano paper. You can watch it on youtube at:

Be sure not to miss when Dobbs talks about the lawsuit to stop the DHS extension of Optional Practical Training (OPT). There is somewhat of a disconnect in the report because Miano was interviewed but nobody mentioned that he is one of the lawyers helping with the lawsuit. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for July 7th. Read the IRLI press release at:

John Miano, for those of you who don't know, used to be a programmer.

Because of the bad situation in the job market he decided to go to law school. What is about to happen in the courts is truly the revenge of the nerds.

Finally, support for American workers in a TV ad

I was jolted to attention when it came on, even though I was working on my computer and the TV was only playing in the background. A wife tells her husband, "You didn't get the job, did you?"
and the husband replies something to the effect of: "No, they were only hiring foreign workers."

This gives a new slant to the term "reality TV." It doesn't get much more real than this to the millions of us out here that have experienced this FOR REAL. And we have been below the radar screen until now, like being invisible. Here's a link for you to see the ad yourself:
