emc/h1-b

You just *nailed* it... this is probably the best point in the entire thread:

"Mire them in the same red-tape mess
that manipulating a citizen requires...".

I don't think *anyone* who is pro-H1B/L1 could distort what you said as being xenophobic, anti-capitalist, or ignorant of business economics.. very good writing!

Employers go for H1-B/L1's because they can get them cheap, easy to
manipulate, and easy to get rid of.  Mire them in the same red-tape mess
that manipulating a citizen requires and you will see a quick drop in
new H1-B's.


The chance of us out-lobbying Sun, HP, Microsoft, etc is slim to none.
