Basically. you cannot bring a foreign worker in for lower pay and replace an American worker with that individual. If you do. you are violating the law. The Senator from Massachusetts earlier raised the concern that no one will complain because the HlB visa holder. the foreign worker. will be afraid of consequences if they do so. In my judgment. this whistleblower provision will allay any such concerns. I think it ties nicely into the protections which we have built into S. 1723. the protections that come in the form of very severe penalties for anyone who willfully violates the law with respect to bringing in an H1B employee. So for that reason I am comfortable with and supportive of this amendment. We worked closely with Senator KENNEDYS staff on the crafting of the amendment. and I think it has been done in a way that effectively supplements what is already in place.
