Even with the added authority given to the Department of Labor in the newest compromise between Members of the Senate and the administration. there is no guarantee that our workers will be protected. The Department of Labor is only allowed to investigate and punish once there is a willful violation. What about other violations? I am simply not convinced that our American workers will be sufficiently protected. Fundamental fairness requires that we take a balanced approach when lifting the cap on H1B visas. We cannot raise the limit for foreign workers while providing no worker protections for Americans laid off from this very industry. There was a bipartisan measure in the House that could have passed.
