These are good hightech jobs in the modern economy. Over the next decade. it is estimated that hightech computer companies will need 1.3 million additional employees. and American workers deserve help in obtaining the skills to compete for them. It is not enough just to raise the immigration quota. Any bill that passes this Congress should. I believe. have two additional things. First. it must assure American workers that they will get the training opportunities they need to compete for these good jobs. It makes no sense to throw in the towel by increasing the immigration quota. even temporarily. without also investing substantially in the training of U.S. workers. We must not give away these good jobs forever. We must invest in our workers. and that means putting real money on the table for training American workers.
