Bring more in. lose more jobs. Bring fewer in. more jobs are available. That is an immutable law of arithmetic that does not turn on policy about U.S. immigration reform. I would like to make it clear that this particular measure. which has been pointed out by the Secretary of Labor. who has urged that the displacement of American workers through the use of the H1B program must be faced. and to do this that program must be returned to its original purpose. to provide temporary assistance to domestic businesses to fill shortterm. highskill needs. There must be a flat prohibition against laying off American workers and replacing them with foreign workers. Is that provision in this bill?
