These are not $5 an hour jobs flipping hamburgers in some fast food joint. These are in my district at Microsoft where we pay 30. 40. 50. $60.000 to these people. and they cannot find an American who qualifies for that job. so they have to go to India. or the Ukraine. or Uganda or somewhere and find them. So when the President says that the focus of this country and this Congress ought to be developing an educational system that prepares our kids for the jobs of the 21st century. he is talking about making Americans available for those H1B visas. The problem in politics is that a lot of times we always think in 2year terms or maybe 4. We do not think about the fact that we are really sewing the seeds for 20 years from now if we dont educate our kids. if in those first 3 years we do not learn to read.
