U.S. firms who cannot find enough domestic workers are sending more and more contracts overseas. It is incumbent upon us to stop this trend. The 105th Congress helped mitigate this problem by enacting legislation which would raise the annual limit on temporary immigrants who are skilled in jobs for which there are a shortage of American workers. However. we cannot reasonably expect to eliminate the workforce shortage without addressing the crux of the problem: our failure to adequately train and retrain American workers. Existing government training programs have not sufficiently trained or placed workers in those sectors of our economy with the greatest need.
