The solution proposed by the Senator from Massachusetts would give the Department of Labor a dramatically increased role in the supervision of the hightech community and other businesses and entities using skilled workers. I do not personally believe either of these amendments could be implemented without the Department of Labor creating massive new bureaucratic regulations and micromanaging these companies. Indeed. I do not believe these companies would go forward and hire anyone on an H1B program without getting some type of prior clearance from the Department of Labor. We have an attestation process in place. a recruitment process in place for permanent workers. It takes 2 years before the various hoops and regulations can be met.
