Speaker. the bill we are considering on the floor today represents a good faith compromise between differing HlB measures. one passed by the Senate and one passed by the House Committee on the Judiciary. It is not perfect. but compromises seldom are. What the bill does do is take a middle role between varying viewpoints as to the H1B visa program. The HlB program is being abused by firms known as job shops or job contractors. These companies do not bring in a few H1B aliens a year to plug skill gaps in their work forces. Instead. many. and sometimes all. of their personnel are in fact HlB workers. Job contractors make no pretense of looking for American workers.
