We should welcome outstanding workers who are exceptional in their fields and have impressive track records of accomplishment. In fact. my amendment rolls out the red carpet for such workers. It exempts universities and nonprofit research institutions from this requirement. The researchers they bring in from abroad under this program help to train college students for the future. There is no significant evidence of abuses in their recruitment. But 80 percent of the applications received under the visa program are for jobs paying $50.000 or less. Half the applications are for computer programmers. most of them at lower levels. A quarter of the applications are for health care workers. particularly physical therapists.
