Mr. Speaker. I yield myself such time as I may consume to remind my colleagues this bill does. in fact. target businesses that are called H1B dependent. Businesses who hire more than 15 percent of these type of foreign workers are targeted. and we do have safeguards for the American worker. We do have safeguards that include the fact that the businesses cannot fire an American worker and hire an overseas worker. and they have to make goodfaith efforts to hire American workers first. So the abusers of the program are being targeted by the compromised bill. Mr. Speaker. I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Illinois .
