If Members remember NAFTA. when we voted on NAFTA back in the 103rd Congress we were told. we are going to lose the manufacturing jobs. As we go from a manufacturing society into an information technology society. the new information technology jobs will go to our people. Now here we are. only 4 years later. and we are being told that our students and our workers are too dumb. We have to bring people in from other countries to do it. I would ask my friends and colleagues to take a look at the H1B program. Do not be fooled. Keep Americans in the American jobs.
