I believe it would behoove us to make sure that the technology sector continues to exist in the United States of America. Some of my colleagues seem to view this bill too narrowly. They view it as an immigration issue and an immigration issue alone. My colleagues are not to be blamed for wanting to make certain that Government policies respect the needs and interests of American workers. This legislation. however. does not threaten American workers in any way. No one is being replaced. We are not dealing with a situation in which legal immigrants are coming to the United States to compete with lowincome. nativeborn workers or. worse yet. coming to live off the Federal dole. That is not the situation here. The shortage of workers in this industry is well documented.
