Most of those who are coming into this program are lowerlevel computer programmers. Many are physical therapists. occupational therapists. nurses. and 80 percent are paid less than $50.000. as I referred to. These are good jobs. and the working families of America should get the first crack at them. The bill before us does little or nothing to enhance the accountability and enforcement of the H1B visa program. Some say the current program is satisfactory. They cite the low number of violators found by the Labor Department as evidence that the terms of the program are widely observed. But the reason so few violations are discovered is that the Labor Departments hands are tied.
