The measure we are considering today embodies those compromises. and. of course. it is a negotiated agreement. That is the nature of any legislative process. What is important is that we have come up with a bill that both responds to the needs of the hightech industry and adds protections for American workers. The employers most prone to abusing the H1B program are called job contractors or job shops. Often. much of their workforce is composed of foreign workers on H1B visas. These companies make no pretense of looking for American workers. They are in business to contract their HlBs out to other companies.
