The Labor Department reports job losses in the thousands and the economy continues to slow, yet the U.S. House of Representatives is considering legislation to import more foreign workers, flooding the labor pool.
Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz) has introduced the Innovation Employment Act (H.R. 5630), which would DOUBLE the current H-1B visa cap to 130,000 per fiscal year. H.R. 5630 would further raise the cap to 180,000 beginning in 2010 if the 130,000 cap is reached during the 2009 fiscal year.
Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) has introduced the Strengthening United States Technology and Innovation Act (H.R. 5642), which would TRIPLE the current H-1B visa cap to 195,000 in 2008 and 2009.
Please send this fax to your representative and ask them to reject bills to import more foreign workers and support bills that will help Americans keep their jobs instead.
