First. some argue that there is no real shortage in high tech workers. While this will be addressed in more detail in due course. let me just say that I think any member with doubts over which bureaucratic study to believe ought to check the help wanted ads in their Sunday home town papers. I think those long list of job vacancies for computer and engineering jobs tell the story. Further. critics argue that in exchange for this modest. 5 year increase in temporary visas. we need vast new bureaucratic requirements to protect American workers. Mr. President. we will debate this question in more detail later. but let me respond briefly now.
