I think the gentlewoman might be aware. because. after all. she is from California. and that is where Silicon Valley is. she must be aware of this tremendous shortage of information technology workers. And she has probably heard we are going to have on this floor a proposal to amend the immigration bill by the people who were so harsh on immigrants and wanted to keep out immigrants. They are now going to have proposals here asking us to amend it. to bring in more immigrants who have hightechnology experience. information technology workers. They are going to try to solve the problem of the shortage of information technology workers not by increasing the educational opportunities for the people in this country. they are going to bring in immigrants to do that. These antiimmigrant Republicans are going to be leading the fight to get more people in here to take those jobs instead of educating people here *already to enable them to qualify for the jobs.
