Senator ABRAHAMS proposal stems from the proposition that we are in a society so dynamic. changing so rapidly. with so many new technologies on each and every day. that we can do nothing but benefit by recruiting into that economy the most highly skilled people from dozens of nations around the world who seek to make their contribution to humanity as a part of the United States of America as against the nations from which they come. hobbled by societal and governmental restrictions. A large number of the men and women on whom this battle is being waged have been educated here in the United States and have already begun to become a part of our culture. It is the theory of this bill. a theory borne out by the experience of H1B so far. that not only are these men and women who seek to become Americans contributing to their own wellbeing and to the progress of our society but are. in fact. creating jobs for others. The opponents of this bill. those who would restrict it. those who would tie it by all kinds of restrictions so as to make it impracticable for most of the hightech companies of the United States to use. still believe implicitly In a zero sum economythat any job. no matter how skilled. taken by someone who was born somewhere else will inevitably result in a job being deprived from some person born in the United States of America. They do this despite the fact that at the hearing on this bill. as I understand it. the Department of Labor could come up with only one example of a true displacement and a guess that there might be two or three others somewhere across the United States.
